Vibrating device for Parkinson's disease symptoms
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a vibrating glove-like device that may help reduce Parkinson's symptoms like tremor and stiffness. It is a proof-of-concept trial, meaning it's an early test to see if the device is safe and if it works.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You need a doctor-confirmed diagnosis of Parkinson's disease.
- You must be fluent in English.

This study tests a wristband-like device that delivers gentle vibrations to help improve Parkinson's symptoms without medication. You would wear the device during the day, and researchers will check how well it works for a wider range of patients.
This study tests a wristband-like device that delivers gentle vibrations to help reduce Parkinson's symptoms in early-stage disease. You would use the device at home for a period of time, and the study team would monitor your progress remotely.
This trial tests a vibrating device worn on the finger to help reduce Parkinson's symptoms in people who have had surgery for Parkinson's but not deep brain stimulation. It aims to see if this non-invasive therapy can improve movement and quality of life.
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 vibrating wrist device (vCR) for people with advanced Parkinson's disease who have used it before. It aims to see if continued use helps manage symptoms.
This study tests a soft elbow brace and a vibrating armband to help people with stroke or Parkinson's disease improve arm movement. It's designed for people with mild-to-moderate arm weakness.
