Neuromodulation clinical trials at UCSF

1 research study open to eligible people

Neuromodulation is the use of energy to change how brain cells work. UCSF is testing low-intensity focused ultrasound that uses small sound waves to cause brief changes in brain activity for people with essential tremor. The study looks at short-term effects on shaking and movement.

  • 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.
