Precision TMS for parkinson's motor symptoms
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 40 years old or older.
- You have been diagnosed with idiopathic Parkinson's disease (not another form of parkinsonism).
- You have not changed your Parkinson's medications in the last 4 weeks and will not change them during the study.
- You have mild to moderate Parkinson's symptoms (able to walk and stand, but not bedridden).
- You are able to think clearly and cooperate with tests and therapy (score of 22 or more on a mental exam).
- You do not have metal implants in your body, a history of seizures, or had brain surgery.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 study tests a new type of brain stimulation that may help people with Parkinson's disease who experience freezing of gait (when your feet feel stuck to the floor). It uses a non-invasive technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) that sends magnetic pulses through the scalp to activate brain cells, without surgery.
This study tests whether a gentle form of brain stimulation (called prTMS) can help improve slow movement in people with Parkinson's. You would come to the Danish Research Centre for Magnetic Resonance for several sessions. The goal is to see if this non-invasive treatment can make daily tasks a bit easier.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment called TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) can help improve apathy, or loss of motivation, in people with Parkinson's disease. You must have had symptoms for at least 4 years and be on stable Parkinson's medications.
This study uses a safe, noninvasive brain stimulation method (transcranial magnetic stimulation, or TMS) to look at brain signals related to thinking and memory in people with Parkinson's disease. The goal is to find a better way to measure cognitive changes over time.
This trial uses a new type of non-invasive brain stimulation to target a deep brain area that controls movement. It aims to improve motor symptoms like stiffness and slowness in people with Parkinson's disease, without needing surgery.
