Trial Outcomes & Findings for Cala ONE Device for Essential Tremor (NCT NCT02629614)

NCT ID: NCT02629614

Last Updated: 2023-07-18

Results Overview

The primary effectiveness variable is the change in tremor severity immediately after the stimulation session compared to baseline (immediately prior to stimulation) as measured using the TETRAS Archimedes spiral task (assessed by 3 blinded raters). The Essential Tremor Rating Assessment Scale (TETRAS) is a commonly used scale to assess and measure the severity of essential tremor. Each task was calculated individually on a 0-4 scale, with higher scores indicating more severe tremors.

TAPS Stimulation
Temporal Afferent Patterned Stimulation (TAPS) is alternating bursts of TENS stimulation applied to the radial and median nerves of a subject's wrist using the Cala ONE device. Cala ONE Device: The Cala ONE device is a wrist-worn stimulator which applies transcutaneous electrical stimulation non-invasively to the median and radial nerves of an individual through disposable hydrogel electrodes.
Sham Stimulation
0 amplitude stimulation applied to the radial and median nerves of a subject's wrist using the Cala ONE device. Cala ONE Device: The Cala ONE device is a wrist-worn stimulator which applies transcutaneous electrical stimulation non-invasively to the median and radial nerves of an individual through disposable hydrogel electrodes.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Immediately before and after 40 minute stimulation session

Population: Of the 92 subjects that completed the study, 77 were included in the analysis. 15 (8 in the treatment group and 7 in the sham group) were excluded due to significant protocol deviation reasons.

The primary effectiveness variable is the change in tremor severity immediately after the stimulation session compared to baseline (immediately prior to stimulation) as measured using the TETRAS Archimedes spiral task (assessed by 3 blinded raters). The Essential Tremor Rating Assessment Scale (TETRAS) is a commonly used scale to assess and measure the severity of essential tremor.

The percentage of subjects in the treatment group indicating improvement on the CGI-I Scale will be compared to the sham group. The Clinical Global Impression - Improvement (GGI-I) scale evaluates a clinician's rating of tremor improvement noted in the subject, as a result of the treatment. The scale ranges from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse).

Timeframe: Immediately before and after 40 minute stimulation session

Population: Of the 92 subjects that completed the study, 77 were included in the analysis. 15 (8 in the treatment group and 7 in the sham group) were excluded due to significant protocol deviation reasons.

The change in tremor severity on unlocking a lock with a key as assessed by the subject using the Bain \& Findley ADL rating scale. The Bain and Findley Activities of Daily Living (BF-ADL) assessment evaluates the subject's ability to perform a number of specific ADLs, measured before and after treatment. Each ADL is performed by the subject and self-rated on a scale of 1-4, with higher scores indicating greater difficulty in performing the task.

Outcome measures

Outcome measures
Measure
TAPS Stimulation
n=40 Participants
Temporal Afferent Patterned Stimulation (TAPS) is alternating bursts of TENS stimulation applied to the radial and median nerves of a subject's wrist using the Cala ONE device. Cala ONE Device: The Cala ONE device is a wrist-worn stimulator which applies transcutaneous electrical stimulation non-invasively to the median and radial nerves of an individual through disposable hydrogel electrodes.
Sham Stimulation
n=37 Participants
0 amplitude stimulation applied to the radial and median nerves of a subject's wrist using the Cala ONE device. Cala ONE Device: The Cala ONE device is a wrist-worn stimulator which applies transcutaneous electrical stimulation non-invasively to the median and radial nerves of an individual through disposable hydrogel electrodes.
