Summary

This small study tested a robotic device that massages the back to see if it helps people with Parkinson's disease move better, feel less back pain, and sleep better. Nineteen adults with mild to moderate Parkinson's took part in four 40-minute sessions over two weeks. The results give early clues about whether this non-drug approach might be a helpful add-on therapy.
