Vibrotactile Coordinated Reset: a Non-invasive Treatment for Parkinson's Disease 2

Vibrotactile Coordinated Reset: a Non-invasive Treatment for Parkinson's Disease


Sponsor

Synergic Medical Technologies, Inc.

Enrollment

30 participants

Start Date

Jul 12, 2023

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The purpose of our study is to evaluate Vibrotactile Coordinated Reset stimulation (vCR) and its effects on motor function in people with Parkinson's disease (PD). vCR will be administered with a device called the Vibrotactile (VT) Touch device. vCR can be used in conjunction with medication and is expected to delay the need to increase dopamine medication. It also provides a more flexible alternative to deep brain stimulation (DBS) in that the vCR therapy can be easily stopped or modified to better suit the patients' needs.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is testing a non-invasive treatment for Parkinson's disease that uses gentle vibrations applied to the fingertips — called vibrotactile coordinated reset — to help retrain brain activity and reduce symptoms like tremors and stiffness. **You may be eligible if...** - You are between 45 and 85 years old - You have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease by a movement disorder neurologist - Your Parkinson's affects both sides of your body and is moderate in severity - You can walk and stand on your own - You have been on a stable Parkinson's medication regimen for at least 4 weeks - Your symptoms respond to levodopa medication - You speak English - You live near the clinic and can travel to appointments **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have severe depression or thoughts of suicide - You have dementia or significant memory problems - You have had brain surgery or have a deep brain stimulator - You are currently participating in another Parkinson's clinical trial Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

Interventions

DEVICEActive vibrotactile coordinated reset

Vibrotactile Coordinated Reset delivers vibratory stimulation to the fingertips of each hand. A specific pattern of vibration to each fingertip is delivered which theoretically disrupts abnormal synchrony in the brain.

DEVICESham vibrotactile coordinated reset

Vibrotactile Coordinated Reset delivers vibratory stimulation to the fingertips of each hand. An inactive pattern of vibration to each fingertip is delivered which theoretically will not have the effects of active vCR.
