EXTEND Project at Disruptive Tech Granada 2020
Members of the EXTEND Consortium co-organized a workshop on disruptive technologies together with University of Granada (Spain). The EXTEND Project was highly represented in this Workshop: Aníbal M. Astobiza, Daniel López and Camila Rodrigues (all from CSIC) shared their thoughts
Researchers working for the EU Project EXTEND tested intramuscular electrical stimulation below motor threshold to reduce tremor in Essential Tremor patients
Results showed acute and prolonged (24 h) tremor reduction, which might open the possibility of an alternative therapeutic approach for tremor patients. https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9171555
