Purpose of Study
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether Electrical Vestibular Stimulation (EVS) can lessen orthostatic hypotension in Parkinson’s disease patients. We aim to determine if individual precision-designed EVS stimulus can be optimized for improvements in hypotension.
Eligibility
Participants may be eligible if they are between 55-85 years of age with a confirmed diagnosis of idiopathic Parkinson’s disease and a history of orthostatic hypotension.
