ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at a new treatment called temporal interference (TI) for people with essential tremor, a condition that causes shaking in the hands and arms. The study will involve adults aged 30 to 70 who experience tremors in one or both arms. To participate, individuals must not have any serious mental health issues, must be able to give informed consent, and should not have other neurological conditions or certain health problems that could interfere with the study.

Participants in this trial can expect to receive the TI treatment and will be monitored for its effectiveness in reducing their tremors. It’s important to note that those with moderate to severe cognitive impairment, certain orthopedic issues, or who are on specific medications will not be eligible to join. This study is still in the planning stages and has not started recruiting participants yet, so stay tuned for more updates if you think this trial might be right for you or someone you know.
