Eye movement test for Parkinson's and Essential tremor
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study uses a simple eye movement test to see if it can help tell the difference between Parkinson's disease, Essential tremor, and healthy people. The goal is to find a better way to diagnose and track these conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease (IPD) or Essential tremor (ET), or you are a healthy volunteer without these conditions.
- You do not have other movement disorders (like tics, myoclonus, or chorea) that could affect hand or eye movements.
- If you have parkinsonism, it must be due to Parkinson's disease (IPD), not caused by medication, stroke, or other reasons.
- You have no vision or physical problems that would prevent you from doing the eye movement tests.
- You are able to understand and sign a consent form.

This study looks at how the brain's dopamine system works in people with Parkinson's disease by measuring signals from the eyes. It may help find a simple way to track the disease, which could lead to better care.
This study tests whether doing specific eye exercises can help people with Parkinson's disease. The exercises are done three times a week for 8 weeks at a study center.
This trial looks at how analyzing hand movements might help doctors tell the difference between Parkinson's disease and other similar conditions early on. It may help improve diagnosis so patients get the right care sooner.
This study looks at how Parkinson disease affects the connection between vision and movement. You will be asked to view a computer screen and perform simple tasks to help researchers understand these changes.
This study looks at how people with Parkinson’s adapt their movements and how their brain sensorimotor system works. It may help researchers improve understanding of Parkinson’s and refine movement-focused therapies.
This study uses a device on your body to detect internal tremors (tiny vibrations you may feel inside) in Parkinson's disease. It helps researchers understand these tremors better and compare them to people without Parkinson's.
