AI-Powered wristband aims to quiet essential tremor without drugs
NCT ID NCT06235190
First seen Jul 09, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a wrist-worn device called Felix that uses artificial intelligence to deliver gentle nerve stimulation, aiming to reduce hand tremors in people with essential tremor. Participants wear the device daily for up to 90 days and are compared to a group using a sham (inactive) device. The goal is to see if the device safely improves tremor-related daily activities and quality of life.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Felix NeuroAI Wristband (transcutaneous neurostimulation device)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a noninvasive, drug-free option for managing essential tremor throughout the day.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage study with a sham comparison, so results may not confirm lasting benefit. The device may not work for everyone, and individual responses can vary.
