Brain Stimulation for Parkinson's Disease Movement
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with mild to moderate Parkinson's disease
- You are 18 years old or older
- You do not have metal implants in your brain (like surgical clips or orthopedic hardware)
- You do not have electronic implants like a pacemaker, cochlear implant, or deep brain stimulator
- You do not have a history of seizures or epilepsy
- You are able to understand and perform hand and arm movement tasks

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 help improve movement problems in people with Parkinson's disease. If you have Parkinson's, this might be an option to explore.
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.
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 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 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 a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), applied to a specific area of the brain, can improve walking and reduce 'freezing' in people with Parkinson's disease. The treatment is generally safe and does not require surgery.
