# Reduce tremor using brain stimulation

**Goal (in five words):** Reduce tremor using brain stimulation

**Official Title:** Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for the Treatment of Tremo

**Trial ID:** [NCT07574164](https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT07574164)

## Key Facts

- **Phase:** NA
- **Status:** RECRUITING
- **Study Type:** INTERVENTIONAL
- **Sponsor:** University of Oxford
- **Target Enrollment:** 20 participants
- **Start Date:** 2024-01-01
- **Completion Date:** 2026-01-01
- **Conditions:** Essential Tremor, Parkinson's Disease (PD)
- **Interventions:** TMS
- **Intervention Types:** DEVICE

## Summary For Families

They're testing whether transcranial magnetic stimulation can reduce tremor severity in people with essential tremor or Parkinson's disease. TMS uses brief magnetic pulses over the scalp to change activity in the brain circuits that generate tremor, aiming to lower tremor amplitude; it is non-invasive and not a drug, so it does not directly alter levodopa or other Parkinson's medications and can be used alongside them. Adults 18 and older with essential tremor or Parkinson's can join, while anyone with contraindications to brain stimulation, for example certain metal implants or a history of seizures, will be excluded. The small study plans to enroll about 20 people and is run by the University of Oxford.

## Eligibility
