Scientists peek inside the brain during tremor surgery
NCT ID NCT02712515
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at brain signals in 21 people with essential tremor or Parkinson's disease during deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. Researchers placed temporary recording strips on the brain's surface to capture electrical activity. The goal was to learn how DBS calms the tremor-causing network in the brain, not to test a new treatment.
