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.
