Mindfulness meditation is an approach that has shown interest in treatment of anxiety in Parkinson's disease. This pilot study aims to assess a more specific effect on tremor using Essential Tremor Embarrassment Assessment and inertial sensors allowing monitoring during sessions and in daily life. This study will focus on 20 patients (10 with and without Mindfulness based intervention and will aim to develop the interface and demonstrate proof of concept before setting up a controlled study
