NCT ID NCT06341829

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study explores whether wearing prismatic goggles that shift vision can improve emotional awareness (alexithymia) and visual-spatial abilities in people with Parkinson's disease. Researchers will also use brain scans and tear tests to understand how the brain adapts and to find new biomarkers. The trial involves 126 participants with mild Parkinson's and aims to see if this simple, non-invasive technique can boost quality of life.
