The SMART LOUNGE & Parkinson’s Disease
Sensory-stimulating technology historically used to provide entertainment and excitement in the arcade industry, now shows potential as complementary medicine for relieving symptoms of certain neurological disorders; specifically Parkinson’s disease.
With over a million Americans suffer from the crippling effects of Parkinson’s disease the nexNeuro System has shown potential as part of an integrated medicine approach in relieving the effects of neurological disorders.
The nexNeuro System provides passive stimulation by integrating the latest technologies in vibration, motion, audio, and visual therapies. The technology is meticulously orchestrated to bring both the body and the mind to the state of absolute relaxation. The system appears to trigger certain reactions in the brain, utilizing external stimuli to produce various internal sensations, such as balancing the nervous system and clearing cellular memory.
Preliminary observations have shown extremely positive results with Parkinson’s disease patients. The stimulation is showing reductions of anxiety as well as relieving motor dysfunctions, offering a pain free full night’s sleep. Through a passive and non-invasive process of stimulation to the brain and nervous system, nexNeuro therapy is showing a promise in extending mobility and relieves symptoms in such a way that it may reduce their reliance on life-long drug treatment. A preliminary study is currently underway to further test the effects of NexNeuro therapy as a form of complementary medicine.
Treatments like NexNeuro’s therapy are currently gaining recognition among doctors who are suggesting such therapies in addition to prescription medicine for anxiety and other neurological problems. This integrated medicine combines conventional medicine with complementary or alternative medicines to better treat selective diseases and disorders. The Mayo Clinic speaks highly of the integrated medicine approach, “Complementary and alternative therapies prove effective. They're being combined more often with conventional care.”
Preliminary results from the use of the SMART LOUNGE have shown a reduction in tremors, better balance, reduction in pain levels and stronger speech. Each patient with Parkinson’s has varied symptoms, therefore the results with the SMART LOUNGE may also vary with each patient.
Like so many neurological disorders, therapies are often limited to drugs and physical therapy. The NexNeuro SMART LOUNGE is the first system to offer vestibular, vibration and music therapies to the Parkinson’s community.
NexNeuro Care was a Symposium sponsor at the American Parkinson Disease Association Midwest 2009 Symposium in Rolling Meadows, IL March 21, 2009. Our mobile unit was made available to guests of the Symposium for the day at no charge.
