Vibration therapy for Parkinson's movement
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease (the type where the cause isn't known).
- You are able to speak and understand English fluently.
- When you haven't taken your Parkinson's medication for at least 12 hours, your movement score is 30 or higher (measured in the last 6 months).
- You do not have any unusual numbness or loss of feeling in your fingertips.
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant during the study.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 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 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 whether a vibrating ball can help reduce tremor and make daily tasks easier. It is for people with different types of tremor, as long as they don't have major thinking problems or certain other health issues.
