tSMS in Essential Tremor

Transcranial Static Magnetic Field Stimulation (tSMS) in Essential Tremor

This is randomized double-blind study to study the hypothesis that transcranial static magnetic field stimulation of the primary motor cortex improves tremor in patients with essential tremor. Half of the patients will receive tSMS of the left hemisphere and the other half of the right hemisphere.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Essential tremor

Exclusion Criteria:

• MRI-incompatible metal objects in the body (e.g. cardiac pacemakers)
• other main neuropsychiatric co-morbidity
