Safety and Feasibility of Tele-supervised Home-based Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation in Parkinson's Disease

Exploring home-based brain stimulation for Parkinson's with remote guidance.

Phase N/A

This study looks at whether a device called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is safe and easy to use at home for people with Parkinson's Disease, a condition that affects movement and gets worse over time. Participants, aged 40 to 70, will learn how to use the tDCS device during an in-person visit. Then, they'll use the device at home for 20 minutes every day for a week. On the second and third days, there will be video calls for support. After each session, they will fill out online surveys about any side effects and how easy the device was to use. The study will also see if using tDCS helps improve movement problems.

  • Participants need to attend one in-person training session and two video calls on days 2 and 3.
  • The study lasts for 7 days, with daily 20-minute sessions.
  • Participants must have a computer for video calls and surveys.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
