Transcranial Stimulation for Essential Tremor

NCT03025529 · Status: TERMINATED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 8

Last updated 2017-12-19

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The main purpose of this study is to see if transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can be used to help study brain function in healthy people and in those with neurological diseases like essential tremor. This portion of the study is being done to establish the optimal methods for stimulating the brain to measure its responses.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation or TMS is a noninvasive procedure (meaning it does not enter the body) that is used to stimulate a part of the brain using a magnetic field. This magnetic field can pass through the head safely and painlessly. TMS can be used to change activity in the brain.

DEVICE

Sham Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

Sham Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation or sham TMS is like active TMS, a noninvasive procedure (meaning it does not enter the body) that is used to stimulate a part of the brain using a magnetic field. TMS can be used to change activity in the brain but in this intervention, the coil will be angled 90 degrees from the scalp, resting on one wing of the coil, and therefore will not be delivering active TMS.
