It was a small study of people with idiopathic Parkinson’s disease completing a 12-week PBM protocol that included the Vielight Neuro Gamma along with intranasal, neck, and abdominal PBM. Researchers reported statistically significant improvements in measures of mobility, cognition, dynamic balance, and fine motor skills, with some improvements maintained during continued home treatment for up to one year. No treatment-related side effects were reported.
