Wearable sensors to track tremor in Parkinson's and essential tremor
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
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 (early to moderate stage) or essential tremor.
- You can walk at least 4 meters (about 13 feet) with or without a walking aid.
- You can wear small sensors on your skin during clinic visits and possibly at home.
- You can read and understand English and provide informed consent.
- You do not have certain serious health conditions, recent heart or brain events, or allergies to medical tape.

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 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 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 wearable device and a phone app to better track daily-life symptoms in people with essential tremor. It may help researchers understand how tremor changes during everyday tasks using video and audio recordings.
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 tests a wrist-worn device that uses gentle vibrations to help regulate brain activity in people with Parkinson's. It aims to improve symptoms, especially for those who may be sensitive to medication timing.
