Light, sound, and touch therapy for Parkinson’s symptoms
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether high-frequency light, sound, and gentle touch can improve movement and thinking problems in people with Parkinson’s disease. You may help the researchers learn if this kind of stimulation is safe and beneficial alongside your usual Parkinson’s medications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Have Parkinson’s disease that is “idiopathic” (no other known cause) diagnosed by a movement-disorders specialist
- Be between ages 46 and 89, and have Parkinson’s stage 2 to 3
- Have good thinking/memory on a MOCA test (score 26 or higher)
- Speak, read, and understand English, and be able to sign consent
- Have had a CT or MRI scan already to rule out other brain problems
- Use stable Parkinson’s medicines for at least 1 month before starting, and plan to keep the same dose during the study

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether coordinated touch (vibrotactile) training can improve symptoms in people with Parkinson’s. You may be asked to use a special device and attend virtual check-ins, with some visits requiring stopping Parkinson’s meds for short periods.
This study tests whether light therapy can help people with Parkinson's disease. Participants will receive light therapy sessions and have their symptoms checked before, after, and three months later.
This trial tests a continuous electrical brain stimulation device placed in a deep brain area to help Parkinson’s symptoms—especially tremor and trouble with movement. It may help improve daily function and reduce periods when medicine does not work well.
This trial tests whether a non-invasive ultrasound treatment, called transcranial focused ultrasound stimulation (tFUS), can improve movement and thinking in people with Parkinson's disease. It may be an option for those whose symptoms are not well controlled by medication alone.
This study tests whether different types of gentle electrical stimulation on the scalp can help improve walking and balance problems in people with Parkinson's disease. The goal is to find a better way to support rehabilitation.
This study tests a personalized brain stimulation system to help improve walking and balance in people with Parkinson's. If you have trouble with gait and posture despite treatment, this trial may explore whether a tailored stimulation loop can offer additional benefit.
