Smart brain device zaps tremors only when needed
NCT ID NCT02649166
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new type of deep brain stimulation for essential tremor that only delivers electricity when a tremor is detected, rather than constantly. The goal is to reduce side effects like slurred speech and walking problems, and make the battery last longer. About 20 adults with severe, medication-resistant hand tremors will be enrolled to see if this 'closed-loop' approach is safe and effective.
