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.

This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) for people with Parkinson's disease. It uses magnetic pulses to gently stimulate parts of the brain that control movement, and may help improve motor symptoms like stiffness or slowness.
This study tests whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can help people with Parkinson's disease. You will receive rTMS and be evaluated for changes in movement and thinking.
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 trial tests a brain stimulation technique called rTMS to see if it can help improve slowness of movement in the arm and hand. It's for people with early-stage Parkinson's whose symptoms started on the left side and whose main problem is moving slowly.
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.
