Summary

The purpose of our study is to evaluate Vibrotactile Coordinated Reset stimulation (vCR) and its effects on motor ability within Parkinson's patients. vCR will be administered with a device called the VT Brain Glove. vCR is expected to provide patients with a non-invasive alternative to the most widely used treatments such as levodopa and or deep brain stimulation. This study will include a dedicated sham that will aid in understanding true treatment effects from vCR.

Conditions

  • Parkinson Disease

Interventions

DEVICE

Active Vibrotactile Coordinated Reset (vCR)

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.

DEVICE

Sham Vibrotactile Coordinated Reset (vCR)

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.
