Ultrasound test for muscle stiffness in parkinson's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study uses a simple ultrasound scan to measure muscle stiffness in people with Parkinson's disease. It may help doctors understand and track muscle problems better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.
- You are between 40 and 85 years old.
- You have no other nerve or muscle conditions affecting the examined limb.
- You have no injury or surgery on the examined limb in the last year.
- You do not have skin wounds or severe skin problems where the ultrasound will be done.

This study tests a soft elbow brace and a vibrating armband to help people with stroke or Parkinson's disease improve arm movement. It's designed for people with mild-to-moderate arm weakness.
This study uses a special ultrasound to look for swelling in the tendons near the knee and heel in people with psoriatic arthritis. It also checks a blood marker to see if it relates to the swelling and disease activity.
This study uses sound waves (ultrasound) to look at your thigh and hand muscles. The goal is to see if ultrasound pictures can predict how strong these muscles are. It will help doctors measure muscle health without difficult tests.
This trial tests a special ultrasound technique during an endoscopy to see how well it can detect changes in the liver from non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. It may help improve non-invasive assessment before or alongside a follow-up liver biopsy.
This study uses an ultrasound technique to measure how stiff the uterus is in women with normal menstrual cycles. The goal is to establish healthy measurements that can be used for comparison in future fertility research.
This study uses an ultrasound (a painless scan) to check for sarcopenia—age-related muscle loss. It may be a good fit if you're over 50 and have noticed trouble with walking, climbing, or recent falls or weight loss.
