Interesting revival of a 19th century study by Rush University Medical Center researchers. While the successes noted have been labeled “placebo” or due to “nonspecific factors,” the relief patients experience are still real. Increased large motor skill and decreased tremors are nothing to ignore.
It would seem that half of this study can be recreated in anyone’s home immediately. Simply pop a relaxation CD into a headset, and sit back quietly in a comfortable chair for 30 minutes. Nothing to lose, but 30 minutes.
19th century therapy for Parkinson’s disease may help patients today.
