Brain scans reveal how sound waves calm tremors
NCT ID NCT07446192
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how a treatment called High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HiFU) changes brain activity in people with essential tremor (shaking hands). Ten adults over 50 who haven't been helped by standard medications will have their brain waves recorded before and after treatment. The goal is to understand how HiFU affects the brain's communication networks, not to test the treatment itself.
