The following trial evaluates the effect of Tremor Stabilization Algorithms on involuntary hand tremors suffered by Parkinson's patients. These algorithms will be implemented in Virtual Reality (VR). Approximately 300 study subjects are to be randomized to experimental (VR plus algorithms, i.e., intervention) and active comparator (VR only, i.e., control) study arms. Study subjects will perform a postural tremor test (PTT) to elicit postural parkinsonian tremors. Our primary outcome is whether the intervention modifies tremor severity.

Approximately 300 study subjects are to be randomized to experimental (VR plus algorithms, i.e., intervention) and active comparator (VR only, i.e., control) study arms. Study subjects will perform a postural tremor test (PTT) to elicit postural parkinsonian tremors. Our primary outcome is whether the intervention modifies tremor severity. Secondary outcomes include determining whether tremor severity is reduced long-term. These measurements will occur 5 minutes to 30 days post-intervention and will not involve VR. Other secondary outcomes include determining age-of-onset impact on tremor severity, and online self-report surveys for functionality in life in general and in the context of Parkinson's disease. Subjects will perform tremor-recordings on-site. Self-reports will be remote.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| TSA-ON | Experimental | The trial will be composed of two arms: an experimental group with VR with activated Tremor Stabilization Algorithms (TSA-ON). And an active comparator group that is exposed to VR without Tremor Stabilization Algorithms (TSA-OFF control). In both arms, study subjects will be immersed in a stock VR testing environment and will perform a tremor eliciting PTT test. |
|
| TSF-OFF control | Active Comparator | The trial will be composed of two arms: an experimental group with VR with activated Tremor Stabilization Algorithms (TSA-ON). And an active comparator group that is exposed to VR without Tremor Stabilization Algorithms (TSA-OFF control). In both arms, study subjects will be immersed in a stock VR testing environment and will perform a tremor eliciting PTT test. |

| TSA algorithms | Other | Our study will be composed of an experimental and an active comparator (i.e., control) arm. Both arms will perform a postural tremor test (PTT) to elicit parkinsonian tremors. The PTT is where subjects stabilize their backs against a wall and position their hands in the air against gravity for two minutes. The experimental arm will receive VR plus activated Tremor Stabilization Algorithms (TSA-ON) while the active comparator arm will receive VR only (TSA-OFF). Thus, subjects in the experimental arm will not see their digital arms tremor while those in the active comparator arm will. Our primary outcome is the severity of PTT elicited tremors. Tremors will be recorded by VR motion-capture controllers. |

| Tremor reduction | Our primary outcome is the severity of PTT elicited tremors. Tremors will be recorded by VR motion-capture controllers. Wavelet transformation of this data will be applied to determine tremor severity in the two study arms. | 1 minute |
