Brain stimulation plus practice for Parkinson's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a type of brain stimulation, called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), combined with guided practice can improve movement and daily function in people with Parkinson's disease. It may help you move better and do everyday tasks more easily.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a Parkinson's disease diagnosis from a neurologist and are at least 18 years old.
- You are able to follow instructions and have no major thinking or memory problems (score of 24 or higher on a thinking test).
- You can stand and walk on your own for 10 minutes, with or without a walking aid.
- You do not have other brain conditions, such as stroke or dementia.
- You do not have a pacemaker or deep brain stimulator, and you have no history of seizures or epilepsy in your family.
- You are not pregnant and do not have uncontrolled medical conditions.

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 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 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 study tests whether a gentle form of brain stimulation (called prTMS) can help improve slow movement in people with Parkinson's. You would come to the Danish Research Centre for Magnetic Resonance for several sessions. The goal is to see if this non-invasive treatment can make daily tasks a bit easier.
This study tests whether combining a type of brain stimulation with balance exercises can improve walking and balance in people with Parkinson's disease. It may help you move more easily and reduce fall risk.
This study tests a customized brain stimulation technique called rTMS to help people with Parkinson's disease walk better. It aims to boost your brain's natural reserves to improve mobility and daily function.
