Brain Stimulation to Reduce Essential Tremor Shaking
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tTIS to help reduce the shaking associated with essential tremor. Researchers want to see if this approach can improve hand control and quality of life for people with this condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a diagnosis of essential tremor (involuntary shaking, usually in the hands)
- You are 18 years or older
- You are able to understand instructions and complete study tasks without severe cognitive or sensory impairment
- You do not have electronic or metal medical implants (such as pacemakers or brain stimulators)
- You do not have a history of seizures
- You are willing and able to follow all study procedures

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation method called Temporal Interference can help reduce tremors in people with essential tremor. It may offer a new way to calm hand shaking without surgery or medication.
This study tests a new type of magnetic brain stimulation (given as pulses to two brain areas) to help reduce shaking from essential tremor. It is for people whose tremor hasn't improved enough with standard medications.
This study uses ultrasound to gently stimulate the brain’s cerebellum. It’s checking if this can improve symptoms for people with essential tremor (a shaking condition) or help us understand brain function in healthy volunteers.
This trial is testing whether a device that gently stimulates the nerves in your arm (called non-invasive neuromodulation) can safely reduce hand tremors over a long period. It might help with activities like eating, writing, or dressing.
This Phase 1 study tests a coordinated reset deep brain stimulation program for people with essential tremor. It may help reduce tremor symptoms using a specific implanted brain-stimulation device, along with special high-strength MRI and CT imaging before and after surgery.
This trial tests whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) — a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to calm overactive brain cells — can help reduce shaking in people with essential tremor. If you have essential tremor and no metal implants or other brain conditions, you may be eligible to participate.
