Brain stimulation for Parkinson's walking and balance
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 40 years or older and have Parkinson's disease that started after age 40.
- Your Parkinson's medication (like levodopa) has worked well for you in the past or now.
- You can walk without a cane or walker for at least 5 minutes.
- You have not had freezing episodes where you feel stuck when walking.
- Your Parkinson's medications have been the same for at least 4 weeks before the study.
- You do not have any metal implants in your brain or heart, and you are not afraid of enclosed spaces (for MRI scans).

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 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 trial uses a type of brain stimulation (called HF-rTMS) combined with balance exercises to see if it improves balance, walking, and brain activity in people with Parkinson's disease.
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.
This study tests whether different types of gentle electrical stimulation on the scalp can help improve walking and balance problems in people with Parkinson's disease. The goal is to find a better way to support rehabilitation.
This study tests a new, noninvasive brain stimulation technique (called temporal interference stimulation) given at different frequencies. It aims to improve Parkinson's symptoms by gently stimulating the brain area involved in movement.
