Prospective Home-use Study on Non-invasive Neuromodulation Therapy for Essential Tremor.

ABSTRACT:

Highlights

This prospective study is one of the largest clinical trials in essential tremor to date. Study findings suggest that individualized non-invasive neuromodulation therapy used repeatedly at home over three months results in safe and effective hand tremor reduction and improves quality of life for many essential tremor patients.

Background

Two previous randomized, controlled, single-session trials demonstrated efficacy of non-invasive neuromodulation therapy targeting the median and radial nerves for reducing hand tremor. This current study evaluated efficacy and safety of the therapy over three months of repeated home use.

Methods

This was a prospective, open-label, post-clearance, single-arm study with 263 patients enrolled across 26 sites. Patients were in
