Summary
This study tests whether daily exposure to a flickering gamma light is safe and tolerable for people with Parkinson's disease who experience freezing of gait—a sudden inability to step forward. Researchers will monitor side effects and see if the light therapy reduces freezing episodes. The study involves 24 participants using a light device at home for one hour each day.
