Brain implant gets 'Smart' to fight debilitating shakes

NCT ID NCT04212780

Summary

This study is testing a new, smarter version of a brain implant for people with severe essential tremor whose current implant is no longer working well. The new system has two leads and is designed to detect when a tremor is about to start and deliver stimulation only when needed, aiming for better control with fewer side effects. Researchers will test this approach in 10 patients to see if it's feasible and effective.
