Brain stimulation for Parkinson's motor symptoms
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a new type of brain stimulation (STN-tTIS) to see if it helps improve movement symptoms in people with Parkinson's. The study compares how the stimulation works when you are taking your regular medications and when you are not.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your diagnosis must be primary Parkinson's disease (not another type of parkinsonism).
- Your Parkinson's should be mild to moderate (Hoehn & Yahr stage 2.5 or lower).
- Your Parkinson's medications must have been at the same dose for the past 4 weeks and will stay the same during the study.
- You cannot have other serious brain conditions (like traumatic brain injury) or metal implants in your head or heart.
- You should not be taking certain medicines for other conditions (like antipsychotics or antidepressants) that affect dopamine.

This study compares two areas of the brain (subthalamic nucleus and globus pallidus interna) for stimulation using a new non-invasive technique called tTIS. The goal is to see which area works better to improve Parkinson's symptoms.
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 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 trial tests a new type of brain stimulation (called temporal interference stimulation) targeted at specific brain regions to help improve Parkinson's disease symptoms. Researchers will use MRI imaging and behavioral assessments to see if this approach can reduce movement problems and improve quality of life.
This study looks at how Parkinson’s disease symptoms and brain thinking (neurocognitive function) may change after low-frequency stimulation from an implanted brain device. It may help researchers understand whether this specific stimulation pattern could improve thinking or brain-related symptoms.
