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 ...

This is an open-label study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of CAD-1883, a positive allosteric modulator of the SK channel, administered twice daily orally to adult patients with essential tremor (ET). Patients with the diagnosis of ET based on the Movement Disorder Society (MDS) criteria with a ...

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 ...

Purpose To create a brain atlas that will allow physiological and clinical information to be assigned to anatomical locations in MRI space, utilizing non-rigid MRI normalization algorithms. These data will specifically be acquired from the population of patients undergoing stereotactic brain procedures. 2. To collate and analyze the brain data ...

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 ...

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 ...

The purpose of this study is to determine whether transcranial cathodal direct current stimulation (tDCS) delivered over the cerebellum can improve essential tremor.

Essential tremor (ET) is a frequent and disabling disorder with progressive worsening of postural tremor of the upper limbs that impairs most of the manual activities of every day life (feeding, drinking, etc.). Although the pathophysiology of essential tremor (ET) is not fully elucidated, tremor is associated with abnormal activity ...

Laryngeal Dystonia (LD), also commonly referred to as spasmodic dysphonia, is a neurological voice disorder characterized by involuntary dystonic contractions of the laryngeal muscles. Current treatments such as botox and voice therapy only provide temporary relief and thus, the investigators are exploring new strategies to provide long-term, sustained improvement. Deep ...
