Magnetic pulses timed to brain rhythms may quiet tremors without surgery
NCT ID NCT07574164
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) timed to a person's own tremor cycle can reduce shaking in Essential Tremor and Parkinson's disease. Twenty participants with each condition will receive TMS pulses over the motor cortex while their tremor is recorded. The goal is to see if this non-invasive approach can suppress tremor better than no stimulation, potentially offering a new option for people who cannot tolerate medications or want to avoid surgery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) device
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a non-invasive, drug-free way to reduce tremor in Essential Tremor and Parkinson's disease.
What could go wrong
This is a very early, small study (20 participants per group) testing only short-term effects. The tremor reduction may be small or not last, and the approach may not work for everyone.
