Long-term daily brain stimulation with mild electromagnets for Parkinson's
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether daily, long-term use of pulsed electromagnetic fields applied to the head can help reduce Parkinson's symptoms. It is for people with mild to moderate Parkinson's who are not on certain blood thinners and have no major health complications like other neurological diseases or active implants.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with idiopathic Parkinson's disease (not another type of Parkinson's).
- Your symptoms are mild to moderate when you are on your medication—specifically Hoehn & Yahr stage 1 or 2.
- You have no active medical implants like pacemakers or brain stimulators.
- You are not taking certain blood thinners (like Marevan, Eliquis, Xarelto, etc.) and have not changed your Parkinson's medication in the last 6 weeks.
- You do not have other neurological conditions, a history of stroke, brain cancer, epilepsy, or severe psychiatric disorders.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a wearable brain stimulation device (tES) that delivers gentle electrical currents to your head to help improve Parkinson's motor symptoms like tremor, stiffness, or slowness. The treatment is done at home with remote video monitoring, and may offer a non-medication option to help with movement.
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 whether a brain stimulation technique can improve symptoms in people with mild to moderate Parkinson's disease. It may help by adjusting brain networks that control movement.
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.
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 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.
