Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation for Parkinson's disease symptoms
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.

- You are 40 years old or older.
- You have a confirmed diagnosis of Parkinson's disease.
- You have not changed your Parkinson's medications in the 4 weeks before the study starts, and you won't change them during the study.
- You have no other major brain injuries or severe white matter disease.
- You have not had deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery or any brain surgery.
- You do not have any metal implants in your body (like a pacemaker or cochlear implant), and you have no personal or family history of epilepsy or seizures.

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 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 customized transcranial magnetic stimulation (a non-invasive technique that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate brain activity) can help improve symptoms in people with Parkinson's disease, multiple system atrophy, or progressive supranuclear palsy. The treatment is tailored to each person's brain activity patterns.
This study tests whether a type of brain stimulation, called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), combined with guided practice can improve movement and daily function in people with Parkinson's disease. It may help you move better and do everyday tasks more easily.
This study tests whether repeated magnetic stimulation (rTMS) of the brain can help improve movement and thinking problems in people with Parkinson's disease. Researchers will measure how the treatment affects your motor control and cognitive function over the study period.
