Gentler brain zap could better control debilitating hand shakes

NCT ID NCT05897775

Summary

This study is testing a new, gentler pattern of deep brain stimulation for people with essential tremor, a condition that causes uncontrollable shaking, especially in the hands. Researchers want to see if this new approach, which uses lower currents in a specific pattern, is safe and works as well as or better than the standard continuous stimulation. The study involves about 23 people who already have or will get a specific brand of brain stimulator implanted.
