The purpose of our study is to evaluate Vibrotactile Coordinated Reset stimulation (vCR) and its effects on advanced stage Parkinson's symptoms. VCR will be administered with a device called the Stanford CR Glove. vCR is expected to provide patients with a non-invasive alternative to the most widely used treatments such as levodopa and or deep brain stimulation. Patients will be followed for two years.
