Brain stimulation for thinking and movement in Parkinson's
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp can improve thinking, language, and movement problems in people with Parkinson's disease. You will receive either real or pretend stimulation to see if it helps.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have Parkinson's disease and have trouble with word-finding or verbal fluency.
- You are between 50 and 90 years old.
- You can understand and sign a consent form.
- You speak and read English fluently.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to see if it can improve motor function in people with Parkinson's disease. The treatment uses mild electrical currents applied to the scalp to stimulate brain areas involved in movement.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique applied to the back of your brain (cerebellum) can help improve movement and balance in people with mild to moderate Parkinson's disease. The treatment uses a small electrical current to stimulate brain activity.
This trial tests if a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS can improve depression symptoms in people with Parkinson's disease. You'll receive either real or placebo stimulation over several sessions to see if it helps your mood.
This study tests whether repeated magnetic stimulation (rTMS) of the brain can help improve movement and thinking problems in people with Parkinson's disease. Researchers will measure how the treatment affects your motor control and cognitive function over the study period.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation approach (tDCS) can improve thinking and memory in people with Parkinson’s disease. You may be invited because your Parkinson’s is typical and your memory testing shows you do not have dementia.
This study tests whether a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS (transcranial direct current stimulation) can help improve movement and reduce fatigue in people with Parkinson's disease. It's an option for those who are not using deep brain stimulation and don't have certain other health conditions.
