Brain stimulation for walking problems in Parkinson's disease
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 other symptoms in people with Parkinson's disease. It's for people who are in early-to-mid stages and can walk independently.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 40 or older
- Diagnosed with Parkinson's disease that started after age 40
- Current Parkinson's medications (like levodopa) work well for you
- Able to walk unaided for at least 5 minutes
- No severe 'freezing' episodes (feet suddenly stuck)
- No other major brain, heart, or movement-related health issues
- No MRI contraindications (e.g., pacemaker, metal implants, claustrophobia)

This study tests a new, non-invasive brain stimulation method that uses electrical fields to target areas of the brain that control movement. It may help reduce tremors and improve walking in people with 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 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 combining a type of brain stimulation with balance exercises can improve walking and balance in people with Parkinson's disease. It may help you move more easily and reduce fall risk.
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 whether a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), applied to a specific area of the brain, can improve walking and reduce 'freezing' in people with Parkinson's disease. The treatment is generally safe and does not require surgery.
