Hi Patrick, great Podcast, thank you. I currently have a unilateral DBS, so I was curious if that would exclude me from trying this when available. I would gladly volunteer for trials if I’m not excluded because of having a DBS, which only controls my right side.
We don’t know the answer to this question. Please reach out directly to Allevion. You can email: Shawnm@alleviontx.com or call (949) 562-3371.
Please add me to the clinical trials list!
I have ET and would love to be included!
Can this device help with head tremor?
No. It’s just for hand tremor at this time.
I have ET in my left hand. Would also love to be part of this trial!
I would be interested in participating in a clinical study with your device. How does it differ from The Cala Trio?
Allevion has a website where you can read more about it. Here is the link: https://www.alleviontx.com/allevx/

What kind of information would you like? We have a number of resources on our website, including a great section on “living with ET” that includes some coping techniques and assistive devices. Here is the link:
https://essentialtremor.org/resources/living-with-et/ Do you see a neurologist for your tremor?
I have ET as well for 8 years or so and none of the medication had really helped long term. I would like to be part of the trial to. Warm regards.
I am very interested in anything that would help my ET, which I have had for 60 years and, of course, it is only getting worse. My doc will not increase my meds so I am stuck.
I would be interested in the clinical trial, if in fact it differs from the Cala Trio, which I have tried before.
When will this device be approved for sale?
That timeline has not been set yet. The company will be starting clinical trials within the next year.
I am 93 years old and my tremor is getting worse, although not as bad as some people.
What will be the approximate cost of the device.
The cost has not been set yet. The company is will be conducting clinical trials within the next year to evaluate its effectiveness.
I AM INTERESTED IN YOURM DEVICE. I CAN NOT WRITE, SOMETIMES I CAN PRINT, BUT NOT VERY GOOD.
Allevx is not yet on the market, but clinical trials will be starting within the next year. Watch their website for more updates. The IETF also will keep the ET community updated when we have new information. https://www.alleviontx.com/allevx/
