Procedure Administration Phase
A. GENERAL ASSESSMENT CONDITIONS
Subjects will be required to maintain their regular Parkinson's disease medication and dosage schedule throughout the study.
Subjects must agree to not change or start taking any new medications or other new treatments, or to change the dosages they take of current medications, for Parkinson's disease during the course of the study.
Subjects must agree to notify the study investigator immediately if there are any PD or non-PD medication or dose changes.
B. STUDY PROCEDURE ADMINISTRATION PROTOCOL
Administration of the study procedure protocol will be overseen and directed by the study Principal Investigator. The first study procedure with the Resonator™ device will be administered within 7 days of the Baseline Evaluation being completed.
The study procedure administration phase will extend over eight weeks. Each subject will receive three study procedures with the Resonator™ device per week for eight consecutive weeks for a total of 24 procedures. Each study procedure administration will last up to 1½ hours in total, and will have 4 exposure sessions. The process that each subject will undergo for each study procedure administration session is typically described as follows:
- The subject mounts the platform and is seated within the Resonator™ device and centered between the coils.
- The Resonator™ device is ‘activated’ (procedure administration protocol ‘A’ or ‘B’ according to the subject’s randomized group assignment) for the specified time period during the initial study procedure administration.
- The subject has a rest period of specified duration during which the Resonator™ device is inactive.
- The subject is repositioned within the Resonator™ device and again centered between the coils.
- The Resonator™ device is activated for the specified time period during the second study procedure administration.
- The subject has a rest period of specified duration during which the Resonator™ device is inactive.
- The subject is repositioned within the Resonator™ device and again centered between the coils.
- The Resonator™ device is activated for the specified time period during the third study procedure administration.
- The subject has a rest period of specified duration during which the Resonator™ device is inactive.
- The subject is repositioned within the Resonator™ device and again centered between the coils.
- The Resonator™ device is activated for the specified time period during the fourth study procedure administration.
- The study procedure session is complete. The subject descends from the Resonator™ device.
