This research is being done to determine the effectiveness of a new treatment, called JOGO, for patients with functional tremor (FT). JOGO is a biofeedback device that has been shown to help patients with several conditions, e.g., chronic pain, migraine, and Parkinson's disease (PD)-related tremor. JOGO provides biofeedback by using wireless adhesive stickers, called surface electromyography, to get information about muscle activity. This information is then used to modify symptoms through a series of training sessions with a physical therapist and individual practice.

Change in TETRAS scores 1 month
Assessment with The Essential Tremor Rating Assessment Scale (TETRAS), consists of ten items in which action tremor is rated 0-4 in half-point increments by a clinician. Greater total scores indicate worse action tremor.
Time frame: Baseline, 1-month post-treatment
Change in TETRAS scores 2 months
Assessment with The Essential Tremor Rating Assessment Scale (TETRAS), consists of ten items in which action tremor is rated 0-4 in half-point increments by a clinician. Greater total scores indicate worse action tremor.
Time frame: Baseline, 2-month post-treatment
Change in QUEST scores
Measured by self-assessment with the Quality of Life in Essential Tremor Questionnaire (QUEST)
Time frame: Baseline, 1-month and 2-month post-treatment
Tremor prevalence
Number of tremors in time awake during the day measured by wearable device system (KinesiaUTM).
Time frame: 2 months
Tremor resolution 1 month
Number of subjects to experience tremor resolution on in-lab assessment
Time frame: 1-month post-treatment
Tremor resolution 2 months
Number of subjects to experience tremor resolution on in-lab assessment
Time frame: 2-months post-treatment
Change in BDI-II scores
Assessment with the Beck Depression Index II (BDI-II) questionnaire to assess depression severity, a 21-item scale, with items ranging from 0 to 3. Total score of 0-13 is considered minimal range, 14-19 is mild, 20-28 is moderate, and 29-63 is severe.

Change in BAI scores
Assessment with the Beck Anxiety Index (BAI) that measures the severity of anxiety symptoms. Possible scores range from 0 to 63 with higher scores indicating a worse outcome/more severe symptoms of anxiety.
Time frame: Baseline, 1-month and 2-month post-treatment
Change in Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale
Time frame: Baseline, 1-month and 2-month post-treatment
