Study 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.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to test the efficacy of vibrotactile coordinated reset stimulation on human subject participants with Parkinson's disease and inform the investigators on whether unilateral stimulation could be as effective as bilateral stimulation at producing clinically significant improvements in symptoms.

Study arms

  • Active comparator
    Active stimulation

    Participants 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

    Device: Stanford Glove

  • Sham comparator
    Sham Stimulation

    Participants 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

    Device: Stanford Glove

Interventions

  • DeviceStanford Glove

    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.

What researchers measure

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.

    Time frame: Baseline and month 6

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Start is estimated for Jan 2025; primary completion for Dec 2026, 23 months later.

Of 1,296 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Parkinson Disease, half reached primary completion within 24 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 11 and three quarters within 45. This study's planned 23 months is close to that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 1,369 studies reached it within 24 months; a quarter within 11 and three quarters within 44.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Aug 19, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
