What this trial is about

Parkinson's disease is one of the most prevalent motor disorders in the world . The disease is progressive and has no known treatment. In addition to a number of psychological and autonomic issues, the disease also cause movement abnormalities which are the most challenging problem because management is still limited by medication or traditional physiotherapy the most effective way to treat symptoms is through an interprofessional new modalities as sensory stimulation , this study will be the first of its type to measure the effect of sensory stimulation on static tremors. Also, this study is the first of its type to make a continues treatment protocol for patient with static tremors. SO the purpose of these study will To investigate the effect of sensory electrical stimulation on resting tremors in Parkinson's patients.
