Optimizing Parkinson's treatment with wearable sensors
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests if using a wearable sensor can help doctors better adjust Parkinson's medications to reduce motor fluctuations (times when symptoms are not well controlled). It is for people with Parkinson's who have been on levodopa for at least 4 years and experience ups and downs in their movement control.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had Parkinson's disease for more than 4 years.
- You are between 46 and 83 years old.
- You have motor fluctuations that are bothersome enough to need a change in your medication.
- You take at least 3 doses of levodopa (L-Dopa) each day.
- You are not using advanced treatments like a medication pump or deep brain stimulation.
- You do not have significant memory or thinking problems.

This study uses small wearable sensors to measure how you walk and move. The goal is to better track Parkinson's symptoms and predict falls, so your care can be more personalized.
This trial tests whether using a wearable device and patient questionnaires can help doctors decide who should get advanced Parkinson's treatments like pump therapies or deep brain stimulation. It aims to make referral decisions more accurate and timely.
This study tests wearable sensors to monitor tremors and overall health in people with Parkinson's disease or essential tremor. It aims to improve daily tracking and management of symptoms.
This trial uses a simple wearable device to check your fall risk while you start a new Parkinson's medication. It may help your doctor better manage your motor fluctuations and prevent falls.
This study uses a wearable sensor to track how well people move over a year. It may help researchers understand mobility and how different movement conditions affect walking and daily function.
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.
