Transcranial magnetic stimulation for Parkinson's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 40 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease by standard criteria.
- Your Parkinson's medication has been stable for at least 4 weeks before the study starts and will not change during treatment.
- You have some movement symptoms (score of 8 or higher on a common Parkinson's rating scale) and your disease stage is between 1 and 4.
- You are able to complete thinking tests and tolerate the rTMS treatment.
- You do not have any metal implants in your body (like a pacemaker or cochlear implant), and you have no recent history of brain surgery or epilepsy.

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 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 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 if a type of brain stimulation (transcranial magnetic stimulation) applied to different areas of the brain can improve walking and movement in people with Parkinson's disease. The goal is to see which stimulation site works best for reducing freezing of gait and improving daily mobility.
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.
