Detection of Internal Tremors by Oscillometry in Parkinson's Patient

Detection of Internal Tremors by Oscillometry in Parkinson's Patient : a Pilot Study

• Status: Recruiting
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 60 (estimated)
• Sponsor: University Hospital, Toulouse · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years – 80 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Accepted

Summary

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.

Detailed description

The interest in finding prodromal symptoms in Parkinson's disease has been growing. Internal tremor, felt subjectively by the patients, have been reported in some studies as being present on the Prodromal phases of the disease. An objective identification of this tremor has never been made. In this study we propose to objectively access the presence of Internal Tremor in Parkinson's Disease patients using accelerometers. A control population of healthy subjects will also be evaluated to confirm the specificity of tremor for a PD population.
