Essential tremor is the most common movement disorder with clear unmet need. Mounting evidence indicates tremor is caused by increased neuronal burst firing and oscillations in cerebello‐thalamo‐cortical circuitry and may be dependent on T‐type calcium channel activity. T‐type calcium channels regulate sigma band electroencephalogram (EEG) power during non‐rapid eye movement sleep, representing a potential biomarker of channel activity. PRAX‐944 is a novel T‐type calcium channel blocker in development for essential tremor.
