Wearable sensors to track movement in Huntington's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses a small wearable sensor to measure walking and movement in people with Huntington's disease and healthy volunteers. It aims to find better ways to monitor the disease, which could help improve future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 25 and 65 years old
- You have an adult-onset Huntington's disease diagnosis, or you are a healthy volunteer without neurological conditions
- You can walk on your own without help from another person or a walking aid
- You can understand and follow study instructions and give your consent
- You are not pregnant, and you do not have a severe cognitive impairment (score above 18 on a memory and thinking test)
- You have not had Huntington's disease that started before age 20 (juvenile-onset)

This study uses smartphone and wearable sensors to track movement and thinking in people with Huntington's disease. It aims to find better ways to measure how the disease progresses in clinical trials.
This study follows people with Huntington's disease (or those who carry the gene) over time using online surveys. It aims to better understand how the disease progresses, which could help improve future care.
This study is building a biobank to better understand Huntington's disease by using remote monitoring and deep phenotyping (collecting detailed health information). It may help develop better ways to track the disease and improve care for people with the Huntington's gene expansion.
This study tests new ways to measure thinking and memory skills in people with Huntington's disease. It aims to find better tools for tracking the disease and could help you understand your cognitive changes.
This study looks at how people with Huntington's disease remember past events and imagine future ones, and how their eyes move during these tasks. It aims to understand these changes better, which could help with future care.
This trial tests whether a non-invasive magnetic device (placed on the head) can help reduce involuntary movements (chorea) in people with Huntington's disease. It aims to see if this gentle stimulation can improve movement control.
