Electrical stimulation for resting tremors in Parkinson's
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether gentle electrical stimulation to the skin (called sensory electrical stimulation) can help reduce resting tremors in people with Parkinson's disease. Resting tremors are shaking that happens when your muscles are relaxed, like when your hands are in your lap.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 45 and 60 years old
- You have been diagnosed with idiopathic Parkinson's disease (the most common type) and this was confirmed with an MRI of the brain
- Your symptoms are mild to moderate, meaning you have a score of 3 or higher on a standard Parkinson's rating scale
- You have resting tremors in your hand or wrist (shaking when your hand is relaxed)
- You do not have other conditions that cause similar symptoms, like dystonia (uncontrolled muscle contractions)
- You have no history of hand trauma, other major neurological problems (like a stroke), or severe vision or learning issues that would make it hard to follow instructions

This study tests a non-invasive nerve stimulation device for reducing tremors in people with Parkinson's disease or essential tremor. It follows up participants from a previous trial to see if benefits last up to 24 months.
This trial tests a continuous electrical brain stimulation device placed in a deep brain area to help Parkinson’s symptoms—especially tremor and trouble with movement. It may help improve daily function and reduce periods when medicine does not work well.
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.
This trial tests if gentle electrical stimulation can improve hand movement in people who had a stroke 1 to 6 months ago. It's designed for those whose first stroke affected the carotid artery area and who still have some hand tightness and weakness.
This study uses mild electrical stimulation on the brain to see if it can reduce hand tremors in people with Parkinson's disease. It's a non-invasive treatment option that may help improve hand control.
This trial is testing whether a device that gently stimulates the nerves in your arm (called non-invasive neuromodulation) can safely reduce hand tremors over a long period. It might help with activities like eating, writing, or dressing.
