Research on Galvanic Stimulation for Parkinson's
My dad has terrible nausea, and I am wondering if it might be due to the vestibular portion of the brain possibly being affected in Parkinson's, which possibly might be why there is a forward posture (total speculation). Here is some of the research I found, plus a few articles on the use of galvanic vestibular stimulation in combatting nausea from virtual reality:
Hacking the Inner Ear for VR—And for Science Hacking the Inner Ear for VR—And for Science | WIRED New Non-Invasive Galvanic Vestibular Stimulator Helps Parkinson’s Patients Improve Balance New Non-Invasive Galvanic Vestibular Stimulator Helps Parkinson's Patients Improve Balance | Medgadget Mayo Clinic and vMocion Introduce Technology which Creates the Sensation of Motion, Transforming Virtual Reality Mayo Clinic News Network "We conclude that a system of vestibular sensory autoregulation exists and that this probably involves central and peripheral mechanisms, possibly through vestibular efferent regulation. We propose that failure of these regulatory mechanisms at different levels could lead to disorders of movement perception and balance control during standing." Passive motion reduces vestibular balance and perceptual responses Passive motion reduces vestibular balance and perceptual responses Galvanic vestibular stimulation may improve anterior bending posture in Parkinson's disease.
