Overview
The purpose of our study is to evaluate Vibrotactile Coordinated Reset stimulation (vCR) and its effects on Parkinson's symptoms of a more variable population. 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.
Interventions
- Device Stanford Glove
The vibrotactile device sends weak non-painful pattern type vibratory stimulus to the fingertips and is non-invasive. Some patient may experience dyskinesia which can me medicated with a decrease in Parkinson's medication
Primary outcome measures
- Change in Parkinsonian symptoms as defined by the change in Movement Disorder Society Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale Part III Score [Time frame: 6 months]
