Measuring internal tremors in Parkinson's patients
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease (not caused by another condition)
- You can stand without help for 1 minute and walk without assistance
- You are willing to have a small sensor placed on your body while you are in your 'off' state (when your medication has worn off)
- You score 25 or higher on a memory and thinking test (MMSE)
- You do not have other neurological problems that affect walking, like essential tremor or thyroid issues

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial uses new technology (like sensors or apps) to help diagnose and monitor Parkinson's disease early. Researchers want to see if a simple, widespread healthcare service model can improve care. Both people with Parkinson's and healthy volunteers are needed.
This study tests a special sleeve that measures and tracks Parkinson's movement symptoms like stiffness, shaking, and slowness. It aims to see if the sleeve can help monitor your condition at home.
This study tests motion-sensor devices (small inertial measurement units) to detect moments when walking suddenly “freezes” in Parkinson’s disease. If you have freezing episodes, it may help researchers measure them more accurately and support better monitoring.
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.
This trial uses smartphone sensors to track movement in people with early-to-mild Parkinson's disease. It aims to find digital markers that help doctors better monitor symptoms and adjust treatments.
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.
