Vibration therapy

[PDKiwi]

Apologies all, if this 2022 published whole body vibration (WBV) meta-analysis has been reported on previously. The penultimate passage in this somewhat lengthy document is the following observation. Bold text is mine.

Only one study included a PD population, in which MPTP mice were exposed to WBV during four weeks on a daily basis [64]. The vibration training almost completely prevented the MPTP-induced loss of dopamine neurons in the substantia nigra and upregulated BDNF. This is an important result, since it suggests that WBV could act upon the primary cause of PD.

We are fortunate to have a multi position, vibrating bed (AdjustaMattress) and I have been experimenting with various speeds and treatment durations. I will report back if/when there is anything noteworthy.

I'm on the list for a "CUE 2" from charco Neurotech. That's a vibration therapy too. A guy who goes to my local Parkinson's group has a CUE 1 and makes great claims for it.
