Brief Summary:
This is a 6-week exploratory clinical study, designed to test whether treatment with peroneal electrical trans-cutaneous stimulation can have a beneficial effects on symptoms associated with Parkinson's diseases and essential tremor.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Parkinson's Disease Essential Tremor Device: Peroneal electrical transcutaneous neuromodulation (peroneal eTNM®) Not Applicable

Detailed Description:
This is a 6-week, open-label, single site clinical study designed to test whether treatment with peroneal electrical trans-cutaneous stimulation (eTNM) can have a beneficial effects on symptoms associated with Parkinson's diseases (PD) and essential tremor (ET). Eligible patients will be treated with eTNM at home for 6 weeks. Primary endpoint in this study is tolerability and safety, secondary and exploratory endpoints are various scale designed to capture improvements in the most bothersome symptoms of PD or ET.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Peroneal eTNM arm
All patients will receive treatment with peroneal eTNM
Device: Peroneal electrical transcutaneous neuromodulation (peroneal eTNM®)
This is a non-invasive intervention, which utilizes direct trancutaneous, electrical stimulation of the peroneal nerve




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Safety and tolerability [ Time Frame: Baseline to end of treatment at 6 weeks ]
    Incidence of treatment emergent adverse events


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Efficacy [ Time Frame: Baseline to end of treatment at 6 weeks ]
    Change in Patient Global Impression of Improvement scale (Scores 1-7, lower number = better)


Other Outcome Measures:
  1. Exploratory efficacy [ Time Frame: Baseline to end of treatment at 6 weeks ]
    The Movement Disorders Society-sponsored revision of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) score (both total score and subscores) (applicable only for subjects with PD)(0-260, lower score = better)

  2. Exploratory efficacy [ Time Frame: Baseline to end of treatment at 6 weeks ]
    Essential tremor rating assessment scale (TETRAS) score (applicable only for subjects with ET, 0-64, lower scores = better))

  3. Exploratory efficacy [ Time Frame: Baseline to end of treatment at 6 weeks ]
    Bradykinesis and rigidity measured by Five Times Sit to Stand Test (FTSTS) (applicable only for subjects with PD, time in seconds, lower = better))

  4. Exploratory efficacy [ Time Frame: Baseline to end of treatment at 6 weeks ]
    Bradykinesis and rigidity measured objectively using the 10 meter Walking Speed Test (WST) (time in seconds, lower = better)(applicable only for subjects with PD)

  5. Exploratory efficacy [ Time Frame: Baseline to end of treatment at 6 weeks ]
    Effect on patient's daily activities measured by Bain and Findley Activities of Daily Living (BF-ADL) (25-100, lower score = better)

  6. Exploratory efficacy [ Time Frame: Baseline to end of treatment at 6 weeks ]
    Degree of disability measured by modified Rankin Scale (mRS) (0-6, lower score= better)

  7. Exploratory efficacy [ Time Frame: Baseline to end of treatment at 6 weeks ]
    Quality of life measured by European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L)(0.532-1.000, higher score = better)

  8. Exploratory efficacy [ Time Frame: Baseline to end of treatment at 6 weeks ]
    Disease-specific quality of life measured by Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ -39)(0-100, lower score = better)

  9. Exploratory efficacy [ Time Frame: Baseline to end of treatment at 6 weeks ]
    Patient's satisfaction using Treatment Satisfaction Visual Analog scale (TS-VAS)(0-100, higher score = better)

  • Stable dose of any chronic medications, if applicable, for 30 days prior to study entry
  • Willing to comply with study protocol requirements
  • Subject agrees not to participate in another study from 30 days prior the screening visit until the final study visit
  • For subjects with PD:

Bradykinesia in "on" period based on clinical assessment Rigidity in "on" period based on clinical assessment Hand/arm exhibiting tremor (resting and/or intentional and/or postural) ≥ grade 1 as assessed by the MDS-UPDRS tremor score in "on" period

• For subjects with ET: Visible hand/arm and/or foot/leg tremor (resting and/or intentional and/or postural) ≥ grade 1 as assessed by the TETRAS

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Implanted electrical medical device, such as a pacemaker, defibrillator, or deep brain stimulator
