Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

To eliminate barriers (such as travel and cost) to specialized Parkinson disease (PD) care, two movement disorder specialists at the University of Rochester will be providing telemedicine visits for patients with PD who reside in the Presbyterian Home for Central New York in New Hartford, NY, or for individuals who participate in the local support group that meets at the nursing home. Participants will attend 3 telemedicine visits at the Presbyterian Home over the course of 6 months. We hypothesize that this telemedicine model will in time improve access to care and hence the quality of life and quality of care of individuals with PD.
