Investigation of the Benefits of Electrical Non-invasive Stimulation on Cognitive Symptoms in Parkinson's Disease

Studying electrical stimulation effects on Parkinson's cognitive symptoms.

18-75 years
All
Phase N/A

Parkinson's disease is a brain disorder that affects movement and thinking. It can cause problems with stopping actions, like when you have to stop at a "stop" sign. This study explores if a gentle electrical stimulation, called **transcranial alternating current stimulation**, can help improve these thinking problems. It involves a mild, painless electric current applied to the scalp using small pads called electrodes. The study wants to see if this method can help patients stop actions better by measuring brain activity and reaction times on a computer task.

  • The study involves 50 patients and 40 healthy people.
  • Participants must be between 18 and 75 years old.
  • Excludes those with severe mental disorders or drug issues.

This study is important for understanding new ways to help people with Parkinson's without using drugs. Participation requires consent and meeting the eligibility criteria. It is a safe, non-invasive method that could lead to better treatments for cognitive issues in Parkinson's disease.

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.
