No results posted yet for this study

Summary

In the present study, investigators test the hypothesis that a controlled mechanical pressure applied on specific sites of both fore-feet (ES) can reduce the inflammatory state and arterial blood pressure in patients with Parkinson's Disease by increasing the overall parasympathetic activity and reducing vascular sympathetic modulation.
