Brain stimulation for slow movement in Parkinson's
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have a formal diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (from a neurologist specializing in movement disorders).
- Your Parkinson's medications must have been the same for at least the past 4 weeks.
- You cannot have any other active brain condition (like epilepsy, stroke, or dementia).
- You cannot use certain medications (like gabapentin, pregabalin, Donepezil, or antipsychotics) and cannot take benzodiazepines or opioids more than once a week.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can help improve symptoms of Parkinson's disease. The treatment uses magnetic pulses applied to the head, and half of the participants will receive a sham (inactive) treatment to compare results.
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 study tests a new type of brain stimulation that may help people with Parkinson's disease who experience freezing of gait (when your feet feel stuck to the floor). It uses a non-invasive technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) that sends magnetic pulses through the scalp to activate brain cells, without surgery.
This study uses a safe, noninvasive brain stimulation method (transcranial magnetic stimulation, or TMS) to look at brain signals related to thinking and memory in people with Parkinson's disease. The goal is to find a better way to measure cognitive changes over time.
This trial tests a type of brain stimulation called iTBS on an area of the brain that may help with thinking and memory problems in people with Parkinson's disease and mild cognitive impairment. If you qualify, you and your caregiver would take part in sessions and answer questions about your daily life.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment called TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) can help improve apathy, or loss of motivation, in people with Parkinson's disease. You must have had symptoms for at least 4 years and be on stable Parkinson's medications.
