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 |
- Safety and tolerability [ Time Frame: Baseline to end of treatment at 6 weeks ]Incidence of treatment emergent adverse events
- 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)
- 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)
- 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))
- 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))
- 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)
- 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)
- 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)
- 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)
- 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)
- 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)

Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | Female |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- 18 years of age
- Competent and willing to provide written, informed consent to participate in the study
- 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
- Suspected or diagnosed epilepsy or other seizure disorder
- Severe degree of disability or dependence in daily activities >grade 3 as measured by modified Rankin Scale (mRS)
- Presence of clinical signs or diagnosis of dementia
- Swollen, infected, inflamed areas, or skin eruptions, open wounds, or cancerous lesions of skin at stimulation site
- Presence of clinical signs of peripheral neuropathy on lower limbs
- Presence of chorea and/or dyskinesia
- Clinical symptoms or diagnosis of major depressive disorder
- Presence of any other neurodegenerative disease. These may include multisystem atrophy, progressive supranuclear palsy, dementia with Lewy bodies, and Alzheimer's disease.
- Botulinum toxin injection within 6 months prior to study enrollment
- Participation in another interventional clinical trial in the last 30 days, which may confound the results of this study, unless approved by the Sponsor
- Subject is breastfeeding, pregnant, intends to become pregnant during the study, or of childbearing potential, sexually active and not practicing a highly reliable method of birth control (these are methods with a failure quotient of <1% year such as hormonal implants, injectable contraceptives, oral contraceptives of combination type, intra-uterine pessaries restricted to hormone contraceptive coil, sexual abstinence or vasectomy of the partner). The pregnancy test in urine at both Visits 1 and 2 needs to be negative in women of childbearing potential.

- Life expectancy less than 6 months
- Subject with active malignant disease
- Subject with alcohol (more than 100 mg ethanol per day) or drug abuse during the recruitment and during the trial course
- Subject who, in the opinion of the physician, may interfere with optimal participation in the clinical trial or may pose a risk to the subject
- Characteristics indicating a poor understanding of the study or characteristics that indicate the subject may have poor compliance with the study protocol
