Summary

This study tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation device, used at home under remote supervision, can improve motor symptoms like stiffness, slowness, and walking difficulty in people with Parkinson's disease. 68 participants with mild-to-moderate Parkinson's will receive either active or sham stimulation daily for 4 weeks. Researchers will measure changes in movement and safety.
