Neuromodulation clinical trials at UCSF

1 research study open to eligible people

Neuromodulation refers to techniques that adjust nerve activity in the body. UCSF is exploring the use of low-intensity ultrasound to see its impact on brain activity in essential tremor cases. This study investigates the role of sound waves in controlling tremors.

  • Ultrasound Neuromodulation in Essential Tremor

    open to eligible people ages 18 years and up

    This study is being done to test whether low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) (low energy sound waves) cause temporary changes in brain activity and behavior when directed at particular parts of the brain. By targeting LIFU to the parts of the brain thought to be responsible for essential tremor (ET), and measuring any associated improvement in tremor, the investigators hope to show that LIFU can be a useful tool for studying the brain circuits responsible for tremor and other brain disorders.
