Transplant Patients' hand tremors tracked over one year
NCT ID NCT06488651
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study followed 72 kidney and lung transplant recipients for one year to see how hand tremors—a common side effect of anti-rejection drugs—change over time. Researchers used spiral drawings and wrist-worn accelerometers to measure tremor severity. The goal was to understand the natural course of tremor after transplantation.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could help doctors better predict and manage tremor in transplant patients, improving quality of life.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study with only 72 participants, so results may not apply to all transplant patients. It does not test any new treatment.
