TMS brain stimulation for progressive supranuclear palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial tests whether repeated non-invasive magnetic brain stimulation (TMS) can improve symptoms in people with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). It may help by targeting brain circuits involved in movement and balance.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have probable or possible PSP based on standard doctor criteria.
- You are between 40 and 85 years old.
- You can understand simple instructions in English and read at about a 6th-grade level.
- You can stand by yourself for at least 30 seconds and walk on your own using a walker.
- You can keep your current medicine doses steady during the study (including certain movement- and sleep-related medicines).
- You cannot start new physical therapy or speech therapy programs during the study.

This study tests whether customized transcranial magnetic stimulation (a non-invasive technique that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate brain activity) can help improve symptoms in people with Parkinson's disease, multiple system atrophy, or progressive supranuclear palsy. The treatment is tailored to each person's brain activity patterns.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can help improve symptoms of Parkinson's disease. The treatment uses magnetic pulses applied to the head, and half of the participants will receive a sham (inactive) treatment to compare results.
This trial studies whether a noninvasive brain stimulation approach using a static magnetic field can help people with progressive multiple sclerosis. It aims to improve progressive nerve function while keeping other treatments stable.
This study tests whether a gentle electrical brain stimulation technique can improve impulse control and thinking in people with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). If you have PSP and have trouble with making hasty decisions or stopping actions, this treatment might help.
This trial tests a precise form of brain stimulation (called TMS) to see if it can improve movement problems like stiffness, slowness, or tremors in people with Parkinson's disease. Participants must have a stable medication routine and no metal implants or brain surgery history.
This trial tests a drug called LM11A-31 to see if it can help people with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), a rare brain condition. You may join if you have had symptoms for 5 years or less, can walk with minimal help, and have good thinking abilities.
