Vibrotactile Coordinated Reset: a Non-invasive Treatment for Parkinson's Disease 2
Sponsor: Synergic Medical Technologies, Inc.
Summary
The purpose of our study is to evaluate Vibrotactile Coordinated Reset stimulation (vCR) and its effects on motor function in people with Parkinson's disease (PD). vCR will be administered with a device called the Vibrotactile (VT) Touch device. vCR can be used in conjunction with medication and is expected to delay the need to increase dopamine medication. It also provides a more flexible alternative to deep brain stimulation (DBS) in that the vCR therapy can be easily stopped or modified to better suit the patients' needs.

Conditions
Interventions
Active vibrotactile coordinated reset
Vibrotactile Coordinated Reset delivers vibratory stimulation to the fingertips of each hand. A specific pattern of vibration to each fingertip is delivered which theoretically disrupts abnormal synchrony in the brain.
Sham vibrotactile coordinated reset
Vibrotactile Coordinated Reset delivers vibratory stimulation to the fingertips of each hand. An inactive pattern of vibration to each fingertip is delivered which theoretically will not have the effects of active vCR.
