Brain stimulation for mild thinking problems in Parkinson's
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease by a neurologist.
- Your Parkinson's is mild to moderate (not yet needing a wheelchair all the time).
- You have mild thinking problems (scoring 21-25 on a memory test, or showing some decline on other tests).
- You are on stable Parkinson's medications (no changes in the last month, and you expect to stay on the same dose during the study).

This trial tests whether a type of noninvasive brain stimulation (tDCS) can improve thinking and memory in people with mild cognitive impairment in Parkinson’s disease. You may be eligible if you have these diagnoses, are on stable medications, and can safely complete brain scan/testing.
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.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation approach (tDCS) can improve thinking and memory in people with Parkinson’s disease. You may be invited because your Parkinson’s is typical and your memory testing shows you do not have dementia.
This trial studies a noninvasive treatment called rTMS to help improve thinking and memory in people with Parkinson’s who have mild cognitive problems. It may help strengthen brain function, but it also has strict safety and eligibility rules to protect against seizure and metal-related risks.
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 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.
