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 uses a simple eye-tracking test to see if eye movement patterns can help tell the difference between Parkinson's disease and similar conditions like PSP or MSA. It aims to find a faster, easier way to diagnose these disorders.
This study tests digital devices that may help track Parkinson's symptoms using eye movements and balance. It is designed for people with Parkinson's or related conditions who have trouble with walking (freezing) and can walk for at least 5 minutes.
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 tests whether simple eye exercises can help improve symptoms in people with Parkinson's disease. You'll do supervised eye exercises in a clinic to see if they help with movement, balance, or other Parkinson's symptoms.
This study uses a special test to look at dopamine levels in the brain of people with Parkinson's disease. It may help doctors understand the disease better and could lead to better treatments.
