Active clinical trials for "Tremor"

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 ET. Patients with the diagnosis of ET based on the Movement Disorder Society (MDS) criteria with a documented severity of tremor based on the clinician-administered TETRAS Performance Subscale are eligible to be enrolled in the study.

Demonstrate safety and effectiveness of symptomatic action tremor relief in the treated hand following stimulation with the Cala Trio System using the Trio+ bands as compared to the Trio bands in adults with Essential Tremor (ET) and/or Parkinson's Disease (PD) over 2 weeks.

This is a 2-part clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of 40 and 120 mg oral PRAX-944 compared to placebo in the treatment of adults with essential tremor. Part A is designed to study the dose titration from 20 to 40 mg every morning (QAM) (ie, 2 weeks with 7 days at each dose level). Part B is designed to study the dose titration from 20 to up to 120 mg QAM with at least 14 days of dosing at the highest tolerated dose for each participant. Blood levels of PRAX-944 will also be measured throughout the trial and pharmacokinetics will be evaluated.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of Low Frequency Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (LF r-TMS) of the pre-Supplementary Motor Area (pre-SMA) on tremor as measured by the tremor rating scale (TRS) in patients with Essential Tremor (ET). Hypothesis: Pre-SMA LF r-TMS will result in a >30% reduction in tremor as measured by the TRS. Another purpose of this study is to identify the mechanism by which LF r-TMS of the pre-SMA effects tremor in patients with ET. Hypothesis: Inhibition of the pre-SMA by LF r-TMS improves tremor in ET by normalizing pre-SMA output, and improving motor control, as determined shortening of the delay in the second agonist burst, seen in ET patients. At conclusion of this study expect to have sufficient pilot data to justify larger pivotal trials designed to establish the efficacy of pre-SMA r-TMS in ET.

The purpose of this study is evaluate the effectiveness and safety of a possible new treatment for Essential Tremor (ET) using external wearable sensors, which have the capability of recording acceleration and Electromyography (EMG). This therapy is called Responsive Deep Brain Stimulation (R-DBS). R-DBS systems will communicate with a computer, and apply stimulation when the computer detects patterns associated with tremor. This detection will suppress pathological activity and improve or alleviate the tremor. Currently, DBS is approved for the treatment of ET; however, stimulation is delivered continuously even when tremor or other symptoms are absent. Continuous DBS can lead to unwanted side effects such as stuttering and gait\balance problems. On the other hand, R-DBS will turn on only if activity associated with ET from the external sensors is detected.

Stage 1 is a double-blind, proof-of-concept study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and efficacy of SAGE-547 Injection in male and female participants with essential tremor in the upper limb. Stage 2 is an open-label arm designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, and effectiveness of SAGE-547 Injection at a higher dose than in Stage 1. Participants who completed Stage 1 were invited to participate in Stage 2.

The objective of this study is to characterize through spectral analysis intra-thalamic local field potentials (LFPs) recorded through implanted DBS leads during periods with and without tremor in patients suffering from severe essential tremor.

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 medication-refractory Essential Tremor, using the ExAblate transcranial system. The ExAblate system is a medical device that involves a focused ultrasound system and an MRI scanner. ExAblate delivers a pulse of focused ultrasound energy, or sonication, to the targeted tissue. In this particular study the targeted tissue is a unilateral thermal lesion created in the ventralis intermedius nucleus of the thalamus. The treatment begins with a series of standard diagnostic MR images to identify the location and shape of tumor to be treated. The ExAblate computer uses the physician's designation of the target volume to plan the best way to cover the target volume with small spots called "sonications". These treatment spots are cylinder shaped. Their size depends on sonication power and duration. During the treatment, a specific MR scan, which can be processed to identify changes in tissue temperature, provides a thermal map of the treatment volume to confirm the therapeutic effect. The thermal map is used to monitor the treatment in progress, and confirm that the ablation is proceeding according to plan, thus closing the therapy loop. The ExAblate transcranial operates a helmet-shaped transducer (currently utilizing 1000-element phased array transducer) positioned above the subject head. The ExAblate transcranial system also includes means to immobilize the subject head, cool the interface water, and software for CT analysis and phase correction computation. The ExAblate transcranial system is an experimental device and is being investigated in this study.

The objective of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of a single, kinematic-analysis-based intramuscular injection of NT 201, compared with placebo, in moderate to marked essential tremor of the upper limb.

Stereotactic lesioning of thalamus and basal ganglia for treatment of tremor is a well-known procedure which, prior to the introduction of deep brain stimulation, or DBS, was usually achieved using stereotactic surgical procedures. Radiosurgery of invisible targets to treat movement disorders and intractable pain are still the domain of frame-based procedures, due to the need of a solid reference system registered to the anterior commissure-posterior commissure (AC-PC) line, which allows the use of stereotactic atlases. In this study we want to utilize a mathematical method that uses atlas-derived stereotactic coordinates to perform frameless images-guided radiosurgery of such functional targets Particularly the aim of the present study is to investigate both the efficacy and the safety of the methodology to treat upper limb and hand tremor in elderly or in patients which are not ot susceptible of surgical procedures. For these reasons a dose escalation prospective trial have been designed.
