Scientists listen to the brain to crack the code of shaking hands

NCT ID NCT02712515

Summary

This study aimed to understand how essential tremor happens in the brain and how deep brain stimulation (DBS) therapy helps control it. Researchers recorded brain signals from 21 people with essential tremor or Parkinson's disease while they were having DBS surgery. By listening to the brain's electrical activity, they hoped to learn more about the causes of tremor and how DBS treatment quiets it.
