NCT ID NCT07384364

Summary

This small, completed study looked at whether a robotic massage device could help people with Parkinson's disease move more easily and feel better. Sixteen participants with mild to moderate Parkinson's received four 40-minute back therapy sessions over two weeks. Researchers measured changes in walking speed, pain levels, and sleep quality to see if the treatment provided any short-term relief.
