This study tests whether a special flickering light (40 Hz) can help improve sleep in people with Parkinson's disease. Participants will be exposed to the light at home, and researchers will track changes in sleep quality.
This trial tests whether regular light therapy can help people with Parkinson's disease. It is designed for patients whose symptoms are at a moderate stage and whose medication has been stable for a month or more.
This trial tests a new non-invasive brain stimulation method called temporal interference to see if it can improve symptoms of Parkinson's disease. It is for people aged 40 to 80 who are on stable Parkinson's medications and have mild to moderate symptoms.
This trial tests whether a brain stimulation technique can improve symptoms in people with mild to moderate Parkinson's disease. It may help by adjusting brain networks that control movement.
This study tests whether light therapy can help people with Parkinson's disease. Participants will receive light therapy sessions and have their symptoms checked before, after, and three months later.
This study tests whether shining light on the whole body (photobiomodulation) can help with movement and thinking problems in Parkinson's disease. It is for people in early to moderate stages who can walk independently.
