Noninvasive brain stimulator may ease Parkinson's symptoms in a patient's home

Parkinson's disease patients whose symptoms such as tremor, muscle stiffness and slowed movement make it tough to hold an eating utensil steady have few options for relief outside of a hospital or clinic. Medication can help, but over time it tends to become less effective. A headband-shaped device has been invented to deliver noninvasive brain stimulation that tamps down the symptoms of Parkinson's disease, possibly helping to keep these patients at home.
