Flash light therapy for Parkinson's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special light therapy, called flash stimulation, can help people with Parkinson's disease sleep better and feel better during the day. If you have Parkinson's and sleep problems, this treatment might be a new option for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 50 to 70 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease for 5 years or less.
- Your Parkinson's symptoms are stable with your current medications.
- You go to bed between 9 p.m. and 1 a.m. and sleep at least 6 hours a night.

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 technique (called temporal interference stimulation) to see if it can improve Parkinson's symptoms. It uses MRI to guide the treatment, and the goal is to help with movement and other symptoms without surgery.
This study tests if a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called rTMS (repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) can slow down Parkinson's disease by improving slow-wave sleep. It aims to help people with mild to moderate Parkinson's who are stable on their medication.
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 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.
