Personalized brain stimulation to improve walking in Parkinson's
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a customized brain stimulation technique called rTMS to help people with Parkinson's disease walk better. It aims to boost your brain's natural reserves to improve mobility and daily function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease by a doctor using standard criteria.
- Your Parkinson's is at a moderate stage (Hoehn and Yahr stage 2 to 4).
- You are able to walk on flat ground without using a cane or walker.
- You are 50 years old or older.
- You do not have epilepsy, metal implants in your head, or a history of brain surgery.
- You do not have significant memory or thinking problems based on a simple test.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether different types of gentle electrical stimulation on the scalp can help improve walking and balance problems in people with Parkinson's disease. The goal is to find a better way to support rehabilitation.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), applied to a specific area of the brain, can improve walking and reduce 'freezing' in people with Parkinson's disease. The treatment is generally safe and does not require surgery.
This study tests a new, non-invasive brain stimulation method called Temporal Interference Stimulation (TIS) to see if it can improve walking and other symptoms in people with Parkinson's disease. It's for people who are in early-to-mid stages and can walk independently.
This study tests a personalized brain stimulation system to help improve walking and balance in people with Parkinson's. If you have trouble with gait and posture despite treatment, this trial may explore whether a tailored stimulation loop can offer additional benefit.
This study tests whether combining a type of brain stimulation with balance exercises can improve walking and balance in people with Parkinson's disease. It may help you move more easily and reduce fall risk.
This trial tests if a special type of brain stimulation (called TMS) can help people with Parkinson's disease who experience freezing of gait—when your feet feel stuck to the floor. The goal is to see if this treatment can improve walking and reduce those freezing episodes.
