Non-invasive nerve stimulation for essential tremor
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 18 and 74 years old
- Have a diagnosis of essential tremor affecting at least one arm or hand
- Have tremors that affect daily tasks like writing or holding objects
- Not have any implanted devices like pacemakers or deep brain stimulators
- Not be pregnant or allergic to device materials

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 trial tests a new, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial temporal interference stimulation (tTIS) to see if it can reduce tremors in people with essential tremor. It is for people who are already candidates for a surgical treatment called MRI-guided focused ultrasound thalamotomy.
This study tests a non-invasive nerve stimulation device for reducing tremors in people with Parkinson's disease or essential tremor. It follows up participants from a previous trial to see if benefits last up to 24 months.
This study tests whether ultrasound waves applied to a part of the brain (the cerebellum) can safely affect brain activity. It involves healthy volunteers and people with essential tremor, a condition causing shaky hands, to see if this approach might help.
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 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.
