Patterned Multichannel Vibrotactile Stimulation for the Longitudinal Treatment of Moderate Stage Parkinson's Disease
Sponsor: Synergic Medical Technologies, Inc.
Summary
The purpose of the present research is to examine the effectiveness of a non-invasive, vibrotactile stimulation protocol, known as coordinated reset (CR), for the alleviation of motor symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). PD patients exhibit rigidity, slowness (bradykinesia) and poverty (akinesia) of movement as well as other symptoms. Treatment for PD is either pharmacological (first line) or invasive deep brain stimulation. The non-invasive, vibrotactile stimulation approach uses a novel stimulation pattern to disrupt the pathophysiological mechanism that is responsible for PD symptoms and thus restore motor function.
