Brain stimulation for balance problems in Parkinson's disease
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique to see if it can improve balance and movement in people with Parkinson's disease. It may help you if you have had problems with balance or falls and are on stable Parkinson's medications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 40 to 85 years old.
- You have a Parkinson's disease diagnosis and have trouble with balance or posture.
- You have at least moderate motor symptoms while on your usual Parkinson's medications.
- Your Parkinson's medications have been stable for at least 30 days before the study.
- You do not have conditions that increase seizure risk or a history of brain surgery.
- You do not have severe cognitive or communication problems that would prevent you from understanding the instructions.

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 different types of gentle electrical stimulation on the scalp can help improve walking and balance problems in people with Parkinson's disease. The goal is to find a better way to support rehabilitation.
This study tests a new, non-invasive brain stimulation method called Temporal Interference Stimulation (TIS) to see if it can improve walking and balance in people with early-stage Parkinson's disease. It may be a good option if you are on stable medication and able to walk on your own.
This trial uses a type of brain stimulation (called HF-rTMS) combined with balance exercises to see if it improves balance, walking, and brain activity in people with Parkinson's disease.
This study tests whether a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation (called tDCS) can help children with cerebral palsy (spastic hemiplegia) improve their balance and reduce falls. The goal is to see if it makes walking safer and easier.
This study combines a mild electrical brain stimulation (tDCS) with Nordic walking (walking with poles) to see if it helps improve walking and balance in people with Parkinson's disease. The treatment lasts 4 weeks and may be an option if you have a slow walking pace and no implanted brain devices.
