Wearable sensors to improve Parkinson's treatment
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using wearable sensors can help doctors adjust Parkinson's medications more precisely to reduce motor fluctuations (times when symptoms worsen or improve unpredictably). It might help you have more stable symptom control throughout the day.
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, meaning your symptoms vary during the day.
- You take at least 3 doses of levodopa (a common Parkinson's medication) per day.
- Your doctor thinks your medication needs adjusting because of these fluctuations.
- You are not using advanced treatments like pumps or deep brain stimulation.
- You do not have significant memory or thinking problems.
- You are able to wear sensors and keep a symptom diary.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you do not live in a nursing home.

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 study tests whether wearable sensors can accurately measure tremor and other movement symptoms in people with Parkinson's disease or essential tremor. Participating may help improve how doctors monitor symptoms at home.
This study uses a smartphone app to track your symptoms and help predict how your medication affects you over time. It aims to improve treatment for people living with Parkinson's disease.
This study tests whether using a smartphone and wearable device helps people with Parkinson's disease track their symptoms and improve their quality of life. You will use the device to log your medications and symptoms.
This study tests a wristband-like device that delivers gentle vibrations to help reduce Parkinson's symptoms in early-stage disease. You would use the device at home for a period of time, and the study team would monitor your progress remotely.
This study tests a wristband-like device that delivers gentle vibrations to help improve Parkinson's symptoms without medication. You would wear the device during the day, and researchers will check how well it works for a wider range of patients.
