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.

This study tests whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can help people with Parkinson's disease. You will receive rTMS and be evaluated for changes in movement and thinking.
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 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 trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to see if it can improve motor function in people with Parkinson's disease. The treatment uses mild electrical currents applied to the scalp to stimulate brain areas involved in movement.
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.
