TMS for Impulse Control in Parkinson's Disease
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a type of non-invasive brain stimulation called TMS can help reduce impulse control problems (like gambling or compulsive eating) that are caused by Parkinson's medications. It's for people with Parkinson's who are living with these side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a confirmed diagnosis of Parkinson's disease.
- You have an impulse control disorder or related behaviors, like compulsive gambling or eating, caused by your Parkinson's medication.
- You are currently taking dopamine-replacement therapy for Parkinson's.
- You are not severely depressed (score of 14 or lower on a mood test).
- You have good cognitive function (score of 20 or higher on a memory and thinking test).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This early study tests whether a personalized type of noninvasive brain stimulation (called rTMS) can help people who have trouble controlling impulsive behaviors, especially related to eating. It is for adults with a BMI over 30 who do not have other major medical or mental health conditions.
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 tests whether deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus can help control impulse control problems (like gambling, overeating, or shopping) in people with Parkinson's disease. It is for patients whose medication-related impulse symptoms are moderate to severe and who are good candidates for DBS surgery.
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 study tests a computer-based tool that aims to predict and prevent impulse control disorders (like compulsive gambling or shopping) caused by certain Parkinson's medications. If you take a dopamine agonist, this tool might help your doctor adjust your treatment to avoid these side effects.
This trial tests a type of brain stimulation called iTBS on an area of the brain that may help with thinking and memory problems in people with Parkinson's disease and mild cognitive impairment. If you qualify, you and your caregiver would take part in sessions and answer questions about your daily life.
