English abstract The present research shows a prototype that seeks the suppression of essential tremor in a neuroprosthesis that emits vibrations to saturate the channels of communication of this pathology, initially presents a general concept of the disease, and the treatments that seek to correct this symptom known as tremor. It was essential to follow the general outlines of the design and development of the device, and subsequently the results obtained and conclusions that validate the hypotheses raised, the authors propose a series of works that validate the system and the hypotheses itself.
