Brain zap tweak could quiet shaky hands
Symptom relief Not yet recruitingThis study tests whether using brain images to program deep brain stimulation (DBS) devices works better than the usual method for reducing hand tremors in people with essential tremor. Twenty adults who already have DBS electrodes in their brain will try both programming approac…

Could a gentle brain zap quiet essential tremors?
Symptom relief Not yet recruitingThis small pilot study will test whether a non-invasive electrical stimulation technique called tTIS can reduce tremors in people with essential tremor. Six adults who are already candidates for a standard treatment (focused ultrasound) will receive tTIS to a deep brain area invo…

Sound waves aimed at brain may quiet shaky hands
Symptom relief Not yet recruitingThis study tests whether a precise beam of ultrasound directed at a small part of the brain (the dentate nucleus) can reduce tremor. First, 30 healthy volunteers will have their hand tremor measured during ultrasound to find the best settings. Then, 30 people with essential tremo…

Brain surgery meets brain science: probing how a memory-related chemical system influences cognition
Knowledge-focused Not yet recruitingThis study investigates how a drug called Cobenfy KarXT, which affects the brain's cholinergic (acetylcholine) system, alters brain activity during memory and thinking tasks. About 30 people with essential tremor or epilepsy who are already scheduled for deep brain stimulation (D…
