Tapping device training to help symptoms after Parkinson’s surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re between 35 and 92 years old
- You have Parkinson’s disease that is not caused by something else (idiopathic Parkinson’s)
- You had Parkinson’s surgery, but you did not have deep brain stimulation (DBS)
- You can use a computer and the internet, and join online training/check-ins
- You can communicate with the study team in English (severe speech problems rule you out)
- You live in the United States

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.
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 looks at whether changing how deep brain stimulation (DBS) pulses are delivered can improve symptoms in people with advanced Parkinson’s disease. You may be eligible if you already have a specific Boston Scientific DBS device and have had it implanted for at least 3 months.
This trial tests an adaptive deep brain stimulation (DBS) system designed to improve freezing of gait in Parkinson’s disease. It is for people who still have trouble walking despite medications and are already planning to have DBS surgery.
