evidence comparison is limited by heterogeneity in study design, patient populations, and technology maturity
The abstract does not resolve which patient groups or study designs best support its use, and cross-technique comparison remains difficult.; direct comparison across techniques is hindered by study heterogeneity

Ranked Claims
Central neuromodulation produced moderate effects for pathological tremor suppression.
Force-controlling strategies showed promising acute effects but their clinical translation remains limited by poor wearability and muscle fatigue.
Peripheral neuromodulation has gained clinical traction and several devices are now commercially available.
