Parkinson's fall risk study with wearable device
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 20 years of age or older.
- You have Parkinson's disease diagnosed by a neurologist using standard criteria.
- You are currently taking levodopa by itself and have motor fluctuations (times when your movement control wears off before the next dose).
- You are planning to start a new medication called opicapone or safinamide.
- You are willing to provide consent to participate.

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 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.
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 study tests a wearable sensor that tracks tremor and other health details. It could help doctors better understand and manage movement symptoms for people with Parkinson's disease or essential tremor.
This study tests if rotational exercises can lower fall risk and improve movement in people with early-stage Parkinson's. You would do simple, guided exercises over a set period.
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.
