I work for NIHR Research Support Services. We're here to help people apply for NIHR and other funding. We don't see many applications for research into PD.....
Thank you for sharing the existence of this APP. It might help my mom. I am willing to try it without medical testing. I'm under no illusions that it will 'cure' her Parkinsons but reducing stress would surely help. I went to MindSpire's website and it looks like it is not available yet so I signed up for their newsletter. Always appreciate your writing and information sharing.
This is mind blowing stuff. I was fascinated to read that one person in the trial got her sense of smell back after twenty years and another threw away his walking stick (so biblical !!) Though it would be interesting to know if the other 38 participants showed any less dramatic benefits. I can’t understand why Cure Parkinsons and Parkinson’s UK not be interested in funding research in to this.
Big pharma, is just that. They can only continue to be BIG by finding new drug research and development. It is all about the money. I often wonder what a different world we would all live in if philanthropists such as Bill Gates, donated the odd billion, to the Professor Wilkinson’s of the world. Men and women working to improve people’s lives, rather than make millions of £££’s. We are waiting Mr. Gates.
This is very interesting and dare I say, exciting news. Perhaps if a high profile person living with Parkinson's could try it and show any benefits, it might attract more interest from potential investors?
I wonder if the Nurosym vagal nerve earpiece works in the same way? Anyone have any idea when the Mindspire device will be available. I have Parkinson’s and initial studies look encouraging
I’m looking at buying the Nurosym - perhaps a bit reckless as the MindSpire device might be different. And it’s expensive. On the other hand it seems to help people with sleep issues and stress so I don’t see any harm in trying

Really interesting article. There have been similar techniques tried in the past but hopefully this one will be more successful.
Keep up the great work and seaons greetings
Strong arguments here for trialling brain stimulation technology.
Does it help with balance problems or? If so I'll have one!!

Is there any indication that MindSpire might be helpful for a survivor of a thalamic stroke, some of whose symptoms overlap with Parkinson's?
