Brain Stimulation for Parkinson's Motor and Memory Skills
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 50 and 90 years old
- You have been diagnosed with idiopathic Parkinson's disease (the most common type)
- Your Parkinson's is mild to moderate in severity (Hoehn and Yahr stages 1–3)
- Your Parkinson's medications have been stable for at least 4 weeks and will not change during the study
- You have a reliable caregiver or study partner who can attend visits and report on your symptoms
- You are willing to avoid other brain stimulation treatments and maintain your normal routine (diet, exercise, medications) during the study

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, called temporal interference stimulation, that aims to improve movement and non-movement symptoms in people with Parkinson's disease. If you have had Parkinson's for at least a year and are on stable medication, you might qualify.
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 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.
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 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 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.
