Personalized Brain Stimulation for Parkinson's and Similar Disorders
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests whether customized transcranial magnetic stimulation (a non-invasive technique that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate brain activity) can help improve symptoms in people with Parkinson's disease, multiple system atrophy, or progressive supranuclear palsy. The treatment is tailored to each person's brain activity patterns.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a confirmed or probable diagnosis of Parkinson's disease, multiple system atrophy, or progressive supranuclear palsy
- You are between 30 and 80 years old
- Your disease is at a moderate stage (not very early or very advanced)
- You do not have metal implants in your brain, heart pacemaker, or cochlear implant
- You are not currently receiving brain stimulation or other similar therapies
- You do not have a personal or family history of epilepsy

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial uses a new type of non-invasive brain stimulation to target a deep brain area that controls movement. It aims to improve motor symptoms like stiffness and slowness in people with Parkinson's disease, without needing surgery.
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 study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can help improve symptoms of Parkinson's disease. The treatment uses magnetic pulses applied to the head, and half of the participants will receive a sham (inactive) treatment to compare results.
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 whether repeated non-invasive magnetic brain stimulation (TMS) can improve symptoms in people with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). It may help by targeting brain circuits involved in movement and balance.
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (using electrical currents applied through the scalp) aimed at the subthalamic nucleus—a brain region involved in movement control—to help reduce both movement-related symptoms (like tremor and stiffness) and non-movement symptoms (like mood and sleep problems) in people with Parkinson's disease.
