Summary

This study tests whether a daily 1-hour session of gamma flickering light is safe and tolerable for people with Parkinson's disease who experience freezing of gait — a feeling that their feet are glued to the floor. The study involves 24 participants aged 50-80 who will use a light device at home for 6 months. Researchers will track side effects and check if the light exposure improves walking and other Parkinson's symptoms.
