Fast TMS for apathy in Parkinson's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a faster version of TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) to see if it can help with apathy—low motivation and lack of interest—in people with Parkinson's disease. You will receive several TMS sessions each day over a short period, and the study team will check if your mood and motivation improve.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
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.
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 whether a type of non-invasive brain stimulation called TMS can help reduce impulse control problems (like gambling or compulsive eating) that are caused by Parkinson's medications. It's for people with Parkinson's who are living with these side effects.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment called rTMS to see if it can help reduce apathy (lack of motivation) after a stroke. You would receive either real rTMS or a sham (fake) treatment over several sessions.
