The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of flash stimulation therapy on the function of the cerebral glymphatic system and efficacy of improving symptoms in PD patients.
Each subject will receive EEG recordings for two consecutive nights starting at 21:00. Participants will undergo baseline functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Subsequently, one week of flash stimulation therapy (JK-PMEG2700K light modulation glasses \[light source\]) was started, using flash stimulation between 20:00 and 21:00. After the 7-day flash stimulation treatment, a second round of clinical evaluation and fMRI will be performed.

Brain glymphatic function
The gBOLD-CSF coupling strength is improved in PD patients treated with 40Hz flash stimulation.
Time frame: The first day after treatment
Movement Disorder Society Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS)
MDS-UPDRS III score is decreased more than 3 points in PD patients treated with 40Hz flash stimulation.(The higher scores mean a worse outcome )
Time frame: The first day after treatment
Parkinson's disease sleep scale(PDSS)
PDSS scale is decreased by more than 3 points in PD patients treated with 40Hz flash stimulation.(The higher scores mean a worse outcome )
Time frame: The first day after treatment
