NCT ID NCT05547620
First seen Feb 25, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 17 times
Summary
This study tests a new, non-invasive treatment for primary orthostatic tremor, a rare condition that causes leg shaking and a feeling of falling when standing. The treatment uses low-intensity focused ultrasound to calm overactive brain circuits in the cerebellum. Researchers will compare real ultrasound to a sham (fake) treatment in 15 adults to see if it reduces tremor and improves standing stability.
