Summary

This trial tests the GyroGlove, a special glove that helps reduce hand tremors using gyroscopes. It targets people with hand tremors who may not respond well to other treatments.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with Essential Tremor (ET) who can follow instructions and have a stable medication dosage. They must experience hand tremors that cause spills when drinking, but not be pregnant, use certain substances, or have conditions like Parkinson's disease or implanted electrical devices.
What is being tested?
The GyroGlove is being tested against a placebo in people with ET. Participants will first try the glove for two weeks to see if it helps control their tremors. The study design includes an initial assessment followed by this open label period where everyone gets the real glove.
What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention involves wearing a glove rather than taking medication, typical drug side effects are not expected. However, discomfort or skin irritation from the glove could occur.

Other Research
The most common treatments for Essential Tremor (ET) include pharmacologic agents like propranolol, which works by blocking beta-adrenergic receptors to reduce tremor amplitude, and botulinum toxin injections, which temporarily paralyze overactive muscles. Adaptive devices, such as neuromodulation and biomechanical loading, offer noninvasive options to manage tremor severity. Neuromodulation involves electrical stimulation of nerves to modulate tremor signals, while biomechanical loading uses external forces or robotic exoskeletons to stabilize tremulous limbs. These treatments are crucial for ET patients as they provide various methods to control tremor, improving daily function and quality of life. The GyroGlove, which uses gyroscopic stabilization, aligns with these adaptive strategies by providing real-time tremor reduction, enhancing hand stability and patient independence.
