First seen Jan 04, 2026 · Last updated May 20, 2026 · Updated 20 times
Summary
This study tests a new way to use deep brain stimulation (DBS) for essential tremor. Normally, DBS delivers constant electrical pulses to the brain, but over time this can lose effectiveness and cause side effects like numbness or speech problems. The new approach automatically turns off stimulation when you are asleep, based on your brain's natural day-night signals. Researchers will enroll 25 people with essential tremor who already have a DBS device, to see if this smart system is safe, feasible, and improves tremor control.
