Gamma Sensory Flicker for Parkinson's Disease Patients With Freezing of Gait

This study is to determine if gamma light is safe and can help with Freezing of Gait (FOG) in Parkinson's disease (PD). FOG is when people feel like their feet are "glued" to the ground and can't move properly, which can cause falls. Gamma light, a special light and sound, might help reduce a brain protein called amyloid that is linked with FOG. Participants will use glasses and headphones for 1 hour daily to receive this light and sound. The study lasts about 7 months, with an optional 1-year extension.

  • Participants will be enrolled from Emory University.
  • You’ll wear glasses and headphones for 1-hour sessions daily.
  • Optional parts include extra tests like spinal fluid samples.
