Can a phone app retrain your tremor?
NCT ID NCT06257069
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a smartphone app called Tremor Retrainer for people with functional tremor, a movement disorder not caused by other diseases. About 20 participants aged 10 and older will use the app and be monitored via video. The goal is to see if the app is easy to use and if it can help reduce tremors.
