# Decrease resting hand tremor electrically

**Goal (in five words):** Decrease resting hand tremor electrically

**Official Title:** Effect of Sensory Electrical Stimulation on Resting Tremors in Patients with Parkinson's Disease

**Trial ID:** [NCT06646510](https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT06646510)

## Key Facts

- **Phase:** NA
- **Status:** RECRUITING
- **Study Type:** INTERVENTIONAL
- **Sponsor:** Cairo University
- **Target Enrollment:** 30 participants
- **Start Date:** 2024-08-01
- **Completion Date:** 2024-12-30
- **Conditions:** Parkinson Disease
- **Interventions:** traditional exercises, sensory electrical stimulation
- **Intervention Types:** OTHER

## Summary For Families

It aims to reduce the bothersome resting tremor in the hand and wrist that many people with mild to moderate Parkinson's have. The approach pairs traditional exercises with sensory electrical stimulation, which applies mild, non‑muscle‑contracting electrical pulses to sensory nerves in the hand and wrist to alter sensorimotor signaling and lower tremor amplitude, and because it is non‑drug it can be used alongside levodopa and other Parkinson's medications without pharmacologic interaction. It is looking for adults 45 to 60 with idiopathic Parkinson's confirmed by MRI, mild to moderate symptoms (UPDRS ≥ 3) and persistent static hand/wrist tremor, while people with other tremor causes, hand trauma, other neurological problems, secondary parkinsonism, severe visual impairment, or who cannot follow instructions are excluded.

## Eligibility

- **Minimum age:** 45 Years
- **Maximum age:** 60 Years
- **Sex:** ALL

### Full Criteria

```
Inclusion Criteria:

* Age between 45 and 60
* Diagnosed with idiopathic Parkinson's disease with Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain
* All the patients will have mild to moderate symptoms based on (the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale UPDRS) ≥ 3
* Static tremors have been present at the hand and wrist
* Absence of other disorders that cause similar symptoms like dystonia

Exclusion Criteria:

* History of hand trauma causes stiffness
* Presence of other neurological problems interferes with diagnosis as hemiplegic stroke
* Secondary parkinsonism (drug-induced or vascular ) which has very low tremor magnitude which can not be detected The patient has a severe visual problem that does not allow following the instructions.
* The patient educational level does not allow for following the instructions.
