Shaking off stigma: brain procedure may ease social burden of hand tremors
NCT ID NCT07430761
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a brain treatment called focused ultrasound can reduce the social stigma that people with essential tremor often face. About 220 adults with essential tremor will have their tremor treated and then be followed for one year. Researchers want to see if less shaking leads to less embarrassment, anxiety, and avoidance of social situations.
