Effects of the Stimulation Site of tsMS With TMS on Functional Mobility in Individuals With Parkinson's Disease

Study on how brain stimulation affects movement in Parkinson's patients.

Phase N/A

This study looks at how two types of special brain and spine treatments help people with Parkinson's disease (PD) move better. Parkinson's disease is a condition that affects the brain and makes it hard to control movements. The study uses two techniques: trans-spinal magnetic stimulation (tsMS) and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS). *tsMS* is a way to give gentle magnetic pulses to the spine, and *rTMS* does the same for the brain. The study compares giving tsMS at two places on the spine: the neck (cervical) and the upper back (thoracic). People in the study will get 10 treatment sessions. The researchers want to see if this helps with walking speed, balance, and overall movement. The goal is to find the best spot on the spine to help people with PD move better.

  • **10 treatment sessions** with magnetic therapy.
  • Study aims to improve *walking and movement* in people with PD.
  • Participants must be 40 or older and have a confirmed diagnosis of PD.

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.
