About this study
The purpose of our study is to evaluate Vibrotactile Coordinated Reset stimulation (vCR) and its effects on refractory post-surgery PD. vCR will be administered with a device called the Stanford 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. Patients will be followed for two years.
Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
