Brain stimulation for tremor and walking problems in Parkinson's
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 50 years old or older.
- You have a confirmed Parkinson's disease diagnosis with shaking or walking problems.
- Your Parkinson's symptoms have been stable for at least 2 years, and your medications have been the same for the last 4 weeks.
- You must be able to walk on your own for at least 5 minutes without help.
- You cannot have metal implants like a pacemaker or deep brain stimulator, and you must be able to have an MRI.
- You must be free from severe mental health issues, major brain conditions, or recent strokes.

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.
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 trial tests a new, non-invasive brain stimulation technique (called temporal interference stimulation) to see if it can improve Parkinson's symptoms. It uses MRI to guide the treatment, and the goal is to help with movement and other symptoms without 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 trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (using electrical currents applied through the scalp) aimed at the subthalamic nucleus—a brain region involved in movement control—to help reduce both movement-related symptoms (like tremor and stiffness) and non-movement symptoms (like mood and sleep problems) in people with Parkinson's disease.
