Overview
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and electrophysiology of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation in the treatment of essential tremor.
Description
This is a randomized controlled study.The purpose is to evaluate the efficacy of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation(rTMS) in the treatment of essential tremor,and explore the possible mechanism by detecting the changes of clinical scale and TMS-electroencephalogram(TMS-EEG), so as to seek an effective therapy for essential tremor.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
- Diagnosed as essential tremor conforming to the diagnostic criteria for essential tremor in the tremor group of the International Parkinson's and Movement Disorders Society (IPMDS).
- Signed informed consent form.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Complicated with brain organic diseases, epilepsy, other mental diseases, family history of dementia, metal devices implanted in the body and any contraindications to TMS;
- History of craniocerebral surgery;
- TMS cannot cooperate;
- TMS-EEG examination artifacts are obvious, or cannot be analyzed due to other technical reasons.
