Smart algorithms aim to take the guesswork out of brain stimulation for tremor
NCT ID NCT03984643
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether computer models can help doctors find the best settings for deep brain stimulation (DBS) in people with essential tremor. Researchers will create personalized brain models to predict which stimulation settings work best and cause fewer side effects. The goal is to make programming faster and more effective for the 25 participants already implanted with DBS devices.
