Summary

This study uses an Apple Watch to monitor how the benefits of deep brain stimulation (DBS) change throughout the day in people with essential tremor. About 50 participants who already receive DBS at Mayo Clinic will perform simple tasks while the watch records movement. The goal is to better understand when and how stimulation loses effect, not to test a new treatment.
