Active clinical trials for "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.

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.

The proposed study aims to characterize ataxia occurring in essential tremor and essential tremor with DBS.

This study is aimed to study the feasibility and safety of parkinson's glove that combined 2 module of tremor detection and tremor suppression with electrical muscle stimulation for using as device for rest tremor suppression in parkinson's disease patients

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).

The gamma knife radiosurgical thalamotomy to treat many movement disorders is recently becoming a new and well defined treatment paradigm. The CyberKnife if compared to the frame-based radiosurgery, is a pain free procedure which offers the advantage of a better patient's compliance by avoiding local anaesthesia and the discomfort due to wearing the frame for the period of time needed for the whole procedure. Unfortunately the subtle but substantial differences about the 3D dose distribution and the dose fall-off features between GK and CK made mandatory investigations about the effectiveness and the safety when the cyberknife is used. Particularly the minimum effective and safety dose have to be defined yet A previous study (NCT02095600) failed in demonstrating the efficacy of 75 Gy, 80 Gy, 90 Gy. The aim of the present study is to investigate about the effectiveness of 100 Gy, 120 Gy, 130 Gy and 140 Gy. The safety and the targeting methodology will be also in investigated.

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.

The aim of this study is to observe the efficacy of Deep Brain Stimulation in the treatment of Parkinson's disease,Essential Tremors and Dystonia in our locality.

In recent years, the application of intraoperative recurrent laryngeal nerve monitoring in thyroid surgery has greatly reduced the complications of recurrent laryngeal nerve injury. The use of intraoperative neurological monitoring requires the reduction of the dose of neuromuscular blockade, which often leads to muscle tremors during the application of electrical energy, which affects the fine separation around the muscles. This study explored the effect of local application of lidocaine on reducing muscle tremor during surgery and its optimal dose.

The aim of the study is to prove the efficacy and safety of cyclical deep brain stimulation (DBS) in patients with essential tremor, and demonstrate non-inferiority of cyclical DBS on tremor control when compared to continuous stimulation.
