Remote haptic rehab for Parkinson's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a remote therapy program that uses gentle vibrations (haptic feedback) to help people with Parkinson's disease improve their movement and coordination. You can participate from home, as long as you have mild to moderate Parkinson's.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.
- Your Parkinson's is at a mild to moderate stage (Hoehn and Yahr stages 1, 2, or 3).
- You live in one of the 48 contiguous United States (not Alaska or Hawaii).
- You can move your hands and head without help, and can sit upright for up to an hour.

This study tests whether doing arm-coordination exercises remotely (via video call) with dual tasks—like moving your arms while counting—can help improve hand function in people with Parkinson's disease. You'd do sessions at home with a caregiver's help.
This study tests a robotic device that gently moves the back to see if it can improve balance and walking in people with Parkinson's disease. It might help you move better in daily 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 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 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 whether a remote therapy program that combines physical exercises with a thinking task can help people with Parkinson's walk better and think more clearly. It's done from home using a smartphone or computer.
