rTMS for arm slowness in early Parkinson's
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests a brain stimulation technique called rTMS to see if it can help improve slowness of movement in the arm and hand. It's for people with early-stage Parkinson's whose symptoms started on the left side and whose main problem is moving slowly.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your Parkinson's is at an early to moderate stage (Hoehn and Yahr stage 1 or 2).
- Your main symptom is slowness of movement (bradykinesia).
- Your Parkinson's symptoms started on the left side of your body.
- You do not have any metal implants in your brain (like from deep brain stimulation) or a shunt.
- You do not have a strong resting tremor that is hard to control.

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 if a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called rTMS (repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) can slow down Parkinson's disease by improving slow-wave sleep. It aims to help people with mild to moderate Parkinson's who are stable on their medication.
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial temporal interference stimulation (TTIS) that you can use at home with remote supervision. It aims to improve movement problems like stiffness, tremor, and slowness in people with mild-to-moderate Parkinson's disease.
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 non-invasive brain stimulation technique called rTMS (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation) can improve walking, especially starting to walk, in people with Parkinson's disease. It uses magnetic pulses over a brain area that controls movement.
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.
