NCT ID NCT06418152
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This small study tested a digital therapy called DART that uses augmented reality to help people with Parkinson's disease and a deep brain stimulator improve their walking and balance. Seven adults participated, and researchers measured changes in motor function and walking distance. The goal was to see if the therapy is safe and effective for easing movement symptoms.
