  • Vibrotactile coordinated reset — DEVICE
    The purpose of this study is to test the efficacy of vibrotactile coordinated reset stimulation on human subject participants with early stage Parkinson's disease

Study Details

The purpose of our study is to evaluate Vibrotactile Coordinated Reset stimulation (vCR) and its effects on early stage Parkinson's symptoms. VCR will be administered with a device called the Stanford Glove. vCR is expected to provide patients with a non-invasive alternative to the most widely used treatments such as levodopa and or deep brain stimulation. Patients will be followed for two years.
