Sound waves vs. shakes: can ultrasound tame essential tremor for years?
NCT ID NCT07212244
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tracks 240 adults with essential tremor that doesn't improve with medication. They will receive a non-invasive procedure called MR-guided focused ultrasound, which uses sound waves to target the brain area causing tremors. Researchers will check if tremor control lasts at least 3 years and monitor safety and quality of life.
