Essential Tremor Clinical Trials

This is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study. Subjects will be randomized to one of two treatment groups. Group A will receive CX-8998 and Group B will receive placebo. Subject randomization will be stratified by concomitant primidone use and site type (sub-study vs non sub-study). Tremor will be assessed via The ...

The Atlanta Center for Medical Research is enrolling volunteers with tremors in a study testing an investigational medication.

This study objective is to evaluate symptomatic hand tremor relief in the treated hand following stimulation with the Cala TWO device in adults with essential tremor over a 3-month duration.  

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and initial effectiveness of MRI-guided focused ultrasound thermal ablation of a designated area in the brain of patients suffering from movement disorder symptoms: FUS under MRI-guidance and MRI-based thermometry can be safely delivered to patients suffering from treatment-refractory movement disorders ...

The objective of this prospective, multi-site, single-arm, open-label study is to capture the safety and efficacy(performance) of bilateral staged Exablate treatment in subjects with bilateral medication-refractory essential tremor (ET). . The staged second procedure will be performed at least9 months post contralateral side. The benefit of real-time feedback will allow ...

Spasmodic dysphonia (SD) is an isolated focal laryngeal dystonia characterized by selective impairment of voluntary voice control during speech production. Despite well-characterized clinical features of SD, its causes and pathophysiology remain unclear. Consequently, the absence of objective biomarkers of SD leads to diagnostic inaccuracies, while the lack of understanding of ...

Spasmodic dysphonia (SD), or laryngeal dystonia, is a chronic debilitating condition that selectively affects speech production due to involuntary spasms in the laryngeal muscles. SD often extends beyond the impairment of vocal communication causing significant occupational disability and life-long social isolation. SD becomes even more incapacitating when it is associated ...

This research is being done because although multiple studies evaluating gamma knife for essential tremor show good results, few studies evaluating patients prospectively have been done. Prior studies have looked at patient outcomes following treatment - also known as retrospective studies. In this study, data collection will initiate before treatment, ...

This is a multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study consisting of a screening period of up to 4 weeks (with the exception of subjects on primidone at baseline who will be allowed 6 weeks of screening to allow for safe discontinuation). Screening results from all patients meeting the eligibility requirements will ...

Per the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, tremor is an involuntary, rhythmic muscle contraction leading to shaking movements in one or more parts of the body. It is a common movement disorder that most often affects the upper extremities but can also occur in the head, vocal cords, ...
