Device typeTremor-suppression transcutaneous electrical stimulation wristband: An electrically-powered device designed to be worn on the wrist of an adult patient with hand tremors [e.g., due to Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor (ET)] to: 1) collect motion data (e.g., tremor frequency); and 2) apply patient-specific electrical stimuli to the median and/or radial nerve(s) through the skin (transcutaneously) to help suppress or cancel the tremors. It is a wristwatch-like device that includes a motion sensor, pulse generator and electrodes; the technology may be referred to as transcutaneous afferent patterned stimulation (TAPS). This is a reusable device.
