Vibration therapy for Parkinson's patients on medication
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a small wearable device that delivers gentle vibrations to help reduce Parkinson's symptoms. It is designed for people who are already taking Parkinson's medication and may offer an additional non-drug option.

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 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 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 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.
