Trial ID
NCT07182058
Official Title
Virtual Remote Assessment of Transcranial Electrical Stimulation for Parkinson's Disease Motor Symptoms
Goal
Improve walking through transcranial stimulation
Phase
PHASE1, PHASE2
Status
RECRUITING
Sponsor
U: The Mind Company
Study Type
INTERVENTIONAL
Enrollment
30 participants
Conditions
PARKINSON DISEASE (Disorder)
Interventions
Transcranial Electrical Stimulation Device

Plain-Language Summary

It aims to ease motor symptoms like tremor, slowness, and stiffness by testing whether remotely delivered transcranial electrical stimulation can safely improve movement in people with Parkinson's. The device sends gentle, low-level electrical currents through the scalp to tweak the excitability of motor brain circuits, sessions are done at home with telehealth supervision, and it is studied as an add-on rather than a replacement for levodopa or other Parkinson's medications so participants need a stable regimen. Looking for adults 18 to 80 with Parkinson's at Hoehn and Yahr stages 1 to 4 who have stable meds and reliable internet; people with metal head or neck implants, a history of seizures, recent stroke, pregnancy, severe cognitive impairment, serious skin problems at electrode sites, or current participation in other trials are excluded.
