Felix NeuroAI Wristband Demonstrates Superiority Over Sham Device in TRANQUIL Study for Essential Tremor
In late-breaking findings from the TRANQUIL study presented at AAN 2025, the wearable demonstrated significant improvements in tremor reduction and daily functioning over a sham device.
Fasikl recently reported that its pivotal TRANQUIL study (NCT06235190) met its primary end point, with the company’s investigational wearable Felix NeuroAI wristband demonstrating superiority over a sham device in reducing essential tremor (ET) and improving users' ability to perform daily activities.1,2 The company noted that its AI-powered Felix wristband aims to offer noninvasive, personalized all-day relief for ET by continuously adapting therapy in real time through a connected cloud platform.
In the TRANQUIL trial, results showed a statistically and clinically significant benefit in tremor reduction for individuals using the Felix wristband compared with those using a sham device. After 90 days of use, participants in the Felix group experienced a mean reduction of 6.9 points in modified Activities of Daily Living (mADL) scores, compared with a 2.7-point reduction in the sham group (P <.0001). Nearly two-thirds of the Felix users achieved at least a 20% reduction in mADL scores, compared with just one-quarter in the sham group. Efficacy benefits were also observed across demographics including age, gender, tremor severity, and medication use.
“This wearable technology delivered significant improvement in tremor, with both clinicians and patients more likely to report benefit by the end of the study,” principal investigator
TRANQUIL was a randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled trial enrolling 125 adults across 12 clinical sites in the U.S. and China. Participants were randomized 2:1 to receive either the Felix NeuroAI Wristband or a sham device, and wore the devices during waking hours for a period of 90 days. The study’s primary end point was change in the mADL score from the Tremor Research Group Essential Tremor Rating Assessment Scale (TETRAS), which combines 10 daily living activities and 2 clinical tremor assessments, with a maximum score of 52.

“The TRANQUIL study marks a breakthrough as the first multicenter, double-blind, sham-controlled, non-surgical randomized controlled trial in essential tremor to meet its primary endpoint in over two decades,”
