Brief Summary
The purpose of our study is to evaluate Vibrotactile Coordinated Reset stimulation (vCR) and its effects on Parkinson's symptoms. 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 14 months.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Change in MDS-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale Part III Scale Score
Mean change in the MDS-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) Part III score. Minimum score - 0 indicates normal functioning Maximum score - 132 indicated severe impairment Lower scores indicate greater functionality and higher scores indicate severe impairment in functionality.
Baseline and month 6
Study Arms (2)
Active stimulation
ACTIVE COMPARATORParticipants will receive active stimulation between 2 hours minimum and 4 hours maximum of daily vCR or sham stimulation (2 hours twice daily) at home for the first month (30 days), followed by a minimum of 1.5 hours and a maximum of 2.5 hours of daily vCR
Sham Stimulation
SHAM COMPARATORParticipants will receive sham stimulation between 2 hours minimum and 4 hours maximum of daily vCR or sham stimulation (2 hours twice daily) at home for the first month (30 days), followed by a minimum of 1.5 hours and a maximum of 2.5 hours of daily vCR
Interventions
The non-invasive neuromodulation hardware system comprises two wireless controllers/battery packs which are fastened to the top of each hand via an adjustable elastic strap. Each controller is equipped with four vibrotactile fingertip stimulators, also known as tappers. There is a total of eight tappers (for index, middle, ring and pinkie of each hand) per system.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Ages 18 or older
- Diagnosed with idiopathic Parkinson's Disease
- Fluent in English
- Off-state UPDRS III motor score at least 30, as assessed within the past 6 months before study consent or at Screening Visit.
- Demonstrates understanding of the study requirements and is able and willing to sign the informed consent form and complete study procedures.
You may not qualify if:
- Participation in another drug, device, or biologics trial concurrently or within the preceding 30 days. Any other trial participation should be approved by the Principal Investigators.
- Pregnancy, breast-feeding or wanting to become pregnant
- Physical limitations unrelated to PD that would affect motor ratings
- Has implantation of a medical device
- Sensory abnormalities of the fingertips
