Robot 'Hugs' aim to loosen stiffness and ease pain in Parkinson's patients
NCT ID NCT07376122
Summary
This small pilot study is testing whether a robotic device called BackHug can help people with Parkinson's disease. The device gently massages the back and spine to try to reduce stiffness, improve movement, lessen pain, and help with sleep. Thirty adults with mild to moderate Parkinson's will receive a series of 40-minute sessions to see if this non-drug therapy provides measurable benefits.
