Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Presentation of the expected outcome: We will observe the effects promoted by Transcutaneous electrical stimulation in the inhibition of acute tremor in Parkinson's disease through the electromyography; ;Presentation of the expected outcome: We will observe if there is inhibition of the tremor by skin reflexes through acute transcutaneous electrical stimulation through the electromyography;;Presentation of the expected outcome: We will see if there are electromyographic differences before and after stimulation of the acute superficial radial nerve;;Presentation of the expected outcome: We hope to see if there are gains in writing provided by the inhibition of skin reflexes through the analysis of the patient's writing. | — |
