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 ...

Objective The objective of this protocol is to provide DBS surgery and to collect physiology and efficacy data related to DBS therapy and motor and cognitive function in people with medically refractory Parkinson s disease (PD), dystonia, and essential tremor (ET). All treatment under this protocol will be based on ...

Objective The purposes of this protocol are: To train NINDS Medical Neurology Branch fellows and other trainees in all aspects of deep brain stimulation (DBS) treatment of medically refractory Parkinson s disease (PD), dystonia, essential tremor (ET) and other indications, including patient selection, physiology, and programming and management after DBS ...

To compile characteristics of real-world outcomes using Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) for the treatment of Essential Tremor to add to the evidence available for treatment of ET.

Movement disorders are a group of neurological conditions that alter human movements. They lead to functional impairments, diminished quality of life, and significant societal, economic, and familial burden. Due to the increase in population and longer life expectancy [1], more and more people will have to live with movement disorders. ...

The purpose of this study is to see if the MR-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) thalamotomy procedure can be performed on both sides of the brain safely and effectively to reduce bilateral tremor.

The overall purpose of this application is to capture pathological activity related to essential tremor using external wearable sensors to responsively initiate or terminate DBS. To this end, the researchers propose to use the Nexus-D system, which requires a firm ware update to an Activa Implantable Neurostimulator (INS), and it ...

This study is a prospective, randomized, double-blind cross-over trials. Patients will be randomized into two groups in a cross-over fashion to have either continuous or cyclical stimulation for a total of three months. Following this, the trial will be unblinded and open-label follow up will continue for another nine months. ...

The general aim of the project is to develop a treatment for severe hoarseness due to vocal fold (VF) scarring. Vocal fold scarring can be caused by tumor surgery, radiotherapy, severe inflammation or is early acquired (sulcus vocalis with scar) and results in stiff vocal folds with decreased vibratory capacity ...

Hypothesis The primary research question is whether customized patterned transcutaneous afferent electrical stimulation to the median and radial nerves via the Cala TWO wrist-band device significantly reduces hand tremors in individuals diagnosed with essential tremor that have been approved as candidates for deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. A second research ...
