Essential Tremor with Uncontrollable Hand Movement Trial

The goal of this study is to assess the safety & effectiveness of a new wrist device worn to ease common symptoms of essential tremor over a three-month period, particularly uncontrollable hand movement. The device is called Cala TWO, and is worn on the wrist, much like a fitness tracker bracelet.
