SCIENTISTS are testing a nerve-stimulating bracelet to treat essential tremor.
More than one million people in the UK live with the condition, which typically causes trembling hands. The cause is not fully understood, but one theory is that it is due to unusual electrical activity in the brain.
The bracelet emits mild electrical stimulation to nerves in the wrist, which it thought to interrupt the signals that cause the tremor.
Some 300 people with tremor are taking part in a trial of the bracelet, run by CVS Health Clinical Trial Services in the US.
In a year-long trial, they’ll wear the bracelet for two sessions of 40 minutes a day.
