Brain stimulation for movement and fatigue in Parkinson's
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS (transcranial direct current stimulation) can help improve movement and reduce fatigue in people with Parkinson's disease. It's an option for those who are not using deep brain stimulation and don't have certain other health conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a Parkinson's disease diagnosis with at least two of these symptoms: tremor, stiffness, slow movement, or balance problems.
- You are able to understand and agree to participate in the study.
- You do not have dementia (significant memory or thinking problems).
- You are not using deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson's.
- You do not have psychosis, multiple sclerosis, stroke, COPD, or congestive heart failure.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (using electrical currents applied through the scalp) aimed at the subthalamic nucleus—a brain region involved in movement control—to help reduce both movement-related symptoms (like tremor and stiffness) and non-movement symptoms (like mood and sleep problems) in people with Parkinson's disease.
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 gentle electrical current applied to the scalp can improve thinking, language, and movement problems in people with Parkinson's disease. You will receive either real or pretend stimulation to see if it helps.
This trial tests if a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS can improve depression symptoms in people with Parkinson's disease. You'll receive either real or placebo stimulation over several sessions to see if it helps your mood.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique applied to the back of your brain (cerebellum) can help improve movement and balance in people with mild to moderate Parkinson's disease. The treatment uses a small electrical current to stimulate brain activity.
This study tests whether combining physical exercise with transcranial direct current stimulation (a non-invasive electrical stimulation of the brain) can improve movement and symptoms in people with Parkinson's disease. The goal is to see if this combination works better than exercise alone.
