Study of Magnetic Fields for Treatment of Parkinson's Disease

A Double-blind, Sham-stimulation Controlled Study of the Application of Magnetic Fields Using the Jacobson Resonator for the Treatment of Parkinson's Disease.

The purpose of this study is to determine if low level magnetic fields may help to relieve symptoms of Parkinson's disease.
