Study Summary

The purpose of this single arm study is to evaluate the feasibility and safety of treatments with a non-invasive neuromodulation device in adults diagnosed with mild/moderate Parkinson's disease dementia (PDD). A non-invasive device is a device that stays outside of the body and is not implanted and does not penetrate the skin. Neuromodulation means that the device stimulates activity in the brain.
