Zap in the ear to help Parkinson's patients walk?

NCT ID NCT07366411

Summary

This study is testing whether a gentle, non-invasive electrical stimulation applied to the ear (called taVNS) can improve movement problems when added to standard physical therapy for Parkinson's disease. Researchers will compare the real stimulation to a fake (sham) version in 30 participants to see if it helps with walking, balance, and getting up from a chair. The main goal is to find out if this approach makes everyday movements easier and safer for people with Parkinson's.
