Brain stimulation for movement and other symptoms in Parkinson's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with idiopathic Parkinson's disease for at least 1 year and are in a stable phase.
- Your Parkinson's is at Hoehn and Yahr stage 1.5 to 3, meaning mild to moderate symptoms.
- You are currently taking levodopa or other Parkinson's medications, and your dose has been stable and will not change during the study.
- You do not have severe cognitive impairment (memory or thinking problems) or severe depression.
- You have not had a seizure in the past year and have no family history of epilepsy.
- You are not taking antipsychotics, antidepressants, or other drugs that affect dopamine, except for your Parkinson's medications.

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 non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial temporal interference stimulation (TTIS) that you can use at home with remote supervision. It aims to improve movement problems like stiffness, tremor, and slowness in people with mild-to-moderate Parkinson's disease.
This study tests a new, noninvasive brain stimulation technique (called temporal interference stimulation) given at different frequencies. It aims to improve Parkinson's symptoms by gently stimulating the brain area involved in movement.
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 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.
This study tests a new, non-invasive brain stimulation method called Temporal Interference Stimulation (TIS) to see if it can improve walking and other symptoms in people with Parkinson's disease. It's for people who are in early-to-mid stages and can walk independently.
