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 whether high-frequency light, sound, and gentle touch can improve movement and thinking problems in people with Parkinson’s disease. You may help the researchers learn if this kind of stimulation is safe and beneficial alongside your usual Parkinson’s medications.
This trial tests a new treatment made from your own cells to replace damaged brain cells, aiming to improve movement and reduce symptoms. It's for people who have had Parkinson's for at least 4 years and respond well to levodopa.
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 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.
This study tests if flashing light therapy can help with Parkinson's symptoms. It's for people with early-to-mid stage Parkinson's who have stable sleep and medication routines.
