Detection of Internal Tremors by Oscillometry in Parkinson's Patient
Detection of Internal Tremors by Oscillometry in Parkinson's Patient : a Pilot Study
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 17 Feb 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The goal of the present study is to objectively access the presence of an Internal Tremor in Parkinson's disease. Inertial sensors will be used to detect the presence of a rhythmic oscillation of 3-4 Hz. The study will be performed in both Parkinson's disease patients and healthy controls to ascertain the specificity of this type of tremor.

Who cannot take part
Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.
Prior treatment
- Parkinson's patients treated with deep brain stimulation, apomorphine pump, or duodopa intestinal infusion, and foslevodopa
Other illness
- Patients with an atypical parkinsonian syndrome
- Neurological condition that may affect gait
- (For the control group)
- Participants with significant gait impairment (osteoarticular disorder)
- Those with a neurological disease that, in the investigator's judgment, may interfere with the study's outcome measure
- Participants with a clinical tremor that may interfere with the measurement of the primary outcome (e.g., essential tremor, thyroid disease, or tremors induced by medication)
Other
- (For the experimental group)
- Patients unable to walk or stand for more than one minute in the off state
- Pregnant patients
- Major osteoarticular problems
- Pregnant participants
Who the study is looking for
- (For the experimental group)
- Patient with idiopathic parkinson's disease
- Mini Mental State Evaluation score above or equal to 25
- Hoehn and Yahr scale score of ≤3 in the OFF phase, with postural stability allowing the patient to stand unaided for 1 minute.
- Able to walk unassisted
- Willing to undergo accelerometry in the OFF state
- (For the control group)
- Healthy volunteer subjects matched for age (+/- 5 years) and sex
- Mini Mental State Evaluation score above or equal to 25
Age in the registry: 18 years to 80 years · Sex: All · Accepts healthy volunteers
