First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing a wristband that delivers gentle, personalized vibrations to the wrist to help reduce hand tremors in people with essential tremor or Parkinson's disease. About 80 participants will use the device at home over several weeks. The goal is to see if the device is easy to use and if it can improve daily activities like eating or writing.
