Brain stimulation for Parkinson's motor symptoms
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial uses a new type of non-invasive brain stimulation to target a deep brain area that controls movement. It aims to improve motor symptoms like stiffness and slowness in people with Parkinson's disease, without needing surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease by two neurologists.
- Your Parkinson's is at a moderate stage (Hoehn-Yahr stage 1.5 to 4).
- You are over 50 years old.
- You do not have moderate or severe depression (Beck score under 20).
- You have no signs of dementia (MMSE score above 21).
- Your Parkinson's medications have been stable for the past 4 weeks.
- You are right-handed.
- You do not have any metal implants that are not MRI-safe (like a pacemaker or DBS device).

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 new non-invasive brain stimulation method called temporal interference to see if it can improve symptoms of Parkinson's disease. It is for people aged 40 to 80 who are on stable Parkinson's medications and have mild to moderate symptoms.
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 a new, non-invasive brain stimulation method called Temporal Interference Stimulation (TIS) to see if it can improve walking and balance in people with early-stage Parkinson's disease. It may be a good option if you are on stable medication and able to walk on your own.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation method called TIS that targets the cerebellum to see if it can help reduce tremor and improve walking in people with Parkinson's disease. Participants must be stable on their medications and able to walk without help for at least 5 minutes.
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.
