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).

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 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 if non-invasive brain stimulation can help with memory and thinking problems (mild cognitive impairment) in people with Parkinson's disease. It uses magnetic pulses and mild electrical current to stimulate the brain over a few weeks.
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) for people with Parkinson's disease. It uses magnetic pulses to gently stimulate parts of the brain that control movement, and may help improve motor symptoms like stiffness or slowness.
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 if a prediction model can help prevent drug-induced impulse control disorders (like compulsive gambling or shopping) in people with Parkinson's disease who are taking dopamine agonists. It aims to lower the risk of these side effects by adjusting treatment based on the model's predictions.
