Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy

Trying Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for Progressive Supranuclear Palsy.

Recruiting
40-85 years
All
Phase N/A

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy is a study looking at how a special treatment called repetitive cerebellar transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) might help people with a condition called Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP). PSP is a disease that affects balance and movement. The study uses rTMS, which is a non-invasive treatment that doesn't require surgery. The treatment might help improve balance by sending magnetic waves to the brain. The researchers will also use a tool called functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to see how the brain changes with this treatment.

  • The study is for people aged 40-85 who have been diagnosed with PSP.
  • Participants need to be able to follow simple instructions and stand for at least 30 seconds without help.
  • Participants must avoid new physical or speech therapy and stay on stable doses of certain medications during the study.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
