VCR vibration therapy for early Parkinson’s disease
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a treatment called Vibrotactile Coordinated Reset (VCR) to see if it can help people with early-stage Parkinson’s disease. It includes virtual check-ins and likely uses brain and finger sensation testing to monitor effects over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years old or older
- Have Parkinson’s disease that is early stage (Hoehn and Yahr stage 1)
- Live in the United States and speak English well enough to follow instructions
- Be able and comfortable using a computer and joining online training/monitoring meetings
- Be comfortable temporarily stopping Parkinson’s medication during in-person study visits
- Have no major mental health or thinking problems like active psychosis or serious suicidal thoughts

This trial tests a vibrotactile (gentle vibration) coordinated reset device to help people with Parkinson’s symptoms that haven’t improved after surgery. It focuses on improving how symptoms behave, especially during “off” times, with virtual training and monitoring.
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 a wrist-worn device that uses gentle vibrations to help regulate brain activity in people with Parkinson's. It aims to improve symptoms, especially for those who may be sensitive to medication timing.
This early study tests whether a gentle vibrating device worn on the arm can help improve movement in people with Parkinson's disease. It aims to see if this non-invasive approach is safe and might ease symptoms when medications wear off.
This study tests a vibrating glove treatment for people with advanced Parkinson's disease who have already tried it before. The goal is to see if it can help improve symptoms further.
This trial tests an innovative, technology-supported rehabilitation program to help older adults with early-stage Parkinson’s disease improve daily function. It may be helpful if your symptoms are mild and your treatments have been stable for at least a month.
