Experimental Therapeutics in Essential Tremor Using Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation

Essential Tremor

The purpose of this study is to determine whether transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) delivered over the motor cortex or the cerebellum can improve essential tremor and to identify the cerebral mechanisms involved in these potential effects.

Kinematic-based BoNT-A Injections for Bilateral ET

Essential Tremor

The primary objective is to study the efficacy of botulinum toxin type A (Xeomin®) injected utilizing kinematically-based injection parameters for the treatment of upper extremity essential tremor (ET). Additional objectives are to study the benefit of kinematic assessment tools in determining injection parameters and to study the composition of tremor using kinematics.

Relief From Side Effects: Clinical Use of Electrodes With Direction

Deep Brain StimulationDirectional Lead1 more

Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) uses electrical pulses sent through a lead (insulated wire) to help stop unwanted symptoms in a variety of brain diseases, including the tremor seen in patients with Essential Tremor (ET). The current standard lead allows this stimulation to spread out uniformly in all directions. As these diseases progress, however, the amount of electrical stimulation required to stop the symptom usually increases. This may become problematic because the increased electrical stimulation required for advanced symptoms may spread outside the desired targeted area, and effect other parts of the brain and causing unwanted side effects. A new type of DBS lead has been developed which can steer, or focus, the electrical stimulation in a given direction toward the desired target area and away from areas that would cause side effects. We would like to quantify the benefit seen in patients who have been switched from the traditional lead to this new directional lead.

Essential Tremor in Children and Adolescent

Essential Tremor

Essential tremor (TE) is the most common abnormal movement of the adult. His diagnosis is based on a bundle of clinical arguments (Movement Disorders Society, 1998). Well characterized in the adult, little data is available concerning child. The objective of this work is (1) to define the demographic and clinical characteristics of the TE of children and adolescents, (2) to determine the electrophysiological characteristics in the child, (3) evaluate the functional impact of TE, and assess the functional impact of TE, and assess the current management modalities of TE in children and adolescent.

WiiMote Game Controller as a Device to Study Movement Disorders

Parkinson DiseaseEssential Tremor

Purpose of the study: The purpose of this study is to investigate the Wii remote game control device for use in the study of Movement Disorders. The term "Movement Disorders" refers to a group of abnormal medical conditions characterized by involuntary body movements. Current treatment of these disorders is primarily geared to improve symptoms. Rating scales are usually used to grade response to treatment. These rating scales require special training, take a lot of time, and often present with great variability. Thus, the development of a simple device to perform efficacy measurements offers a great advantage over current methods and is less costly.

Deep braIn Stimulation for Tremor TractographIC Versus Traditional

Essential Tremor

This is a monocentric, randomized, controlled, 2 arms, interventional, observer-blinded feasibility trial. Patients suffering from essential tremor (ET) will be treated with Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS). For the implantation of the DBS electrodes and the DBS system (Activa INS, Medtronic) patients will randomized either to conventional stereotactic surgery of thalamic/subthalamic region with short anesthesia or to MR-tractography guided stereotactic surgery with target point of the dentato-rubro-thalamic bundle (DRT) in general anesthesia. Patients will visit the study center at screening, baseline/neurosurgery, six and twelve months after neurosurgery.

ExAblate Transcranial MR Guided Focused Ultrasound for the Treatment of Essential Tremors

Essential Tremor

The objective of this prospective, randomized, double-blind (to subjects, local site's blinded assessor and Tremor Core Lab assessors), crossover, multi-site, two-arm study (ExAblate treated arm Vs ExAblate Sham treated control arm) is to test the efficacy of treatment using the ExAblate Transcranial System and to further demonstrate safety in medication-refractory tremor in subjects with essential tremor (ET).

Effectiveness and Reliability of Hypnosis in Stereotaxy

Parkinson DiseaseTremor3 more

In certain neurosurgical procedures, the use of a stereotaxic frame is required. It is then possible to set a precise target (depending of the type of the surgery) to be reached by the surgeon. The fixation of the stereotactic frame on the awake patient's head is done under local anesthesia by screwing the frame directly into the skull. This procedure is reported as "painful" to "extremely painful" by patients. The objective of this study is to determine whether the hypnosis is effective in decreasing the pain perceived by the patient during the disposal of the stereotactic frame.
