Current treatments for Parkinson's disease include medications, surgical measures, or a combination of both. However, long term use of medications can result intolerable side effects, especially at higher doses. If patients under go Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgery, risks include risk of stroke, infection, seizure, hemorrhage or others we may not anticipate. Our investigators hope to confirm a non-invasive method of applying the stimulation by vibrotactile stimulation delivered through the fingertips will alleviate severity in motor symptoms in Parkinson's patients
The purpose of our study is to evaluate Vibrotactile Coordinated Reset stimulation (vCR) and its effects on motor ability within Parkinson's patients. vCR will be administered with a device called the VT Brain 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. This study will include a dedicated sham that will aid in understanding true treatment effects from vCR.
