Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a brain disorder that affects movement. Usual treatments include drugs or surgery like deep brain stimulation (DBS). This study uses a new method called fMRI-neurofeedback to help control brain activity without surgery. An fMRI is a special type of MRI scan that shows brain activity in real-time. In the study, patients use mental imagery (imagine moving) to change their brain signals. They get feedback through visual cues to see how well they are doing. This training happens over four sessions in a month, each lasting about 2 hours. Patients also practice at home.
- Study involves 4 sessions, each about 2 hours long, plus daily practice at home.
- Participants must have Parkinson's, be 18 or older, and meet other health criteria.
- It is a low-risk study, mainly involving time and MRI scans.
