Wearable sensors for monitoring tremor in Parkinson's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease or essential tremor
- You can walk at least 4 meters (about 13 feet) with or without a walking aid
- You are willing to wear small sensors on your body during clinic visits and possibly at home
- You can understand and complete study materials in English

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 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.
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.
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.
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.
