NCT ID NCT05842434

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This pilot study tested a wrist-worn device called Felix that delivers gentle electrical stimulation to suppress hand tremors. The device uses artificial intelligence to adjust stimulation in real time based on each person's tremor. 38 adults with essential tremor or Parkinson's disease wore the device daily to see if it safely reduces shaking. The study measured tremor severity using standard rating scales.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Felix NeuroAI Wristband (noninvasive neurostimulation device)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a noninvasive, daily-use option to reduce hand tremors without medication or surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early pilot study with no control group, so results may not be conclusive. The device may not work for everyone or could cause skin irritation.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. At least 18 years of age. 2. Willing to provide written, informed consent to participate in the study. 3. For subjects with essential tremor (ET): 1. A clinical diagnosis of ET. 2. For either upper limb, a tremor severity score of 2 or higher as measured by one of the TETRAS items and a total score of 6 or higher across all TETRAS tasks. 4. For subjects with Parkinson's disease (PD): 1. A clinical diagnosis of PD (MDS-PD criteria). 2. A tremor score of 2 or higher on MDS-UPDRS question 3.15 (postural tremor) or 3.16 (kinetic tremor), OR 3. A rest tremor score of 2 or higher on MDS-UPDRS question 3.17 (rest tremor amplitude) in one upper extremity and a score of 2 or higher on MDS-UPDRS question 3.18 (constancy of tremor). 5. Stable dosage of any medication, if applicable, for 30 days prior to study entry. 6. Familiar with operating a touch-screen smartphone and connecting to Wi-Fi internet at home. 7. If necessary, have a dedicated caregiver to help with study required activities, such as putting on the study device, etc. 8. Willing to comply with study protocol requirements including: 1. Remaining on a stable dosage of current medications, if applicable, during the course of the study. 2. Remaining on stable caffeine consumption, if applicable, during the course of t the study. 3. No alcohol consumption on the day before a study visit. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Prior limb amputation or any known symptomatic peripheral neuropathy condition of the involved upper extremity. 2. Any current drug or alcohol abuse. 3. Current unstable epileptic conditions with a seizure within 6 months of study entry. 4. Pregnant or nursing subjects and those who plan pregnancy during the course of the study. 5. Swollen, infected, inflamed areas, or skin eruptions, open wounds, or cancerous lesions of skin at the stimulation site. 6. Known allergy to adhesives. 7. History of Alzheimer's disease or dementia (Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA)≤19). 8. Botulinum Toxin injection for hand tremor within 4 months prior to study enrollment. 9. Subject is currently participating or has participated in another interventional clinical trial in the last 30 days which may confound the results of this study, unless approved by the Sponsor. 10. Subject is unable to communicate with the investigator and staff. 11. Any health condition that in the investigator's opinion should preclude participation in this study.
