Sound waves target brain to stop debilitating shaking
NCT ID NCT05547620
Summary
This study is testing a new, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFUS) to help people with primary orthostatic tremor (POT). POT causes a high-frequency shaking in the legs when standing, leading to a severe feeling of unsteadiness. Researchers will use MRI-guided ultrasound to target a deep brain area called the cerebellum in 15 patients, comparing real treatment to a sham (fake) treatment to see if it reduces tremor and improves balance.
