Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation(rTMS) Regulating Slow-wave to Delay the Progression of Parkinson's Disease

rTMS study for slowing Parkinson's progression. No treatment guaranteed.

Phase N/A
  • Simplified description (AI rewritten)
  • Technical description (Original)

Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) is a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain. This study aims to see if rTMS can help slow down Parkinson's Disease (PD) by improving Slow-wave Sleep (SWS). SWS is a deep sleep phase important for brain health. The study will explore how rTMS affects SWS and if it can delay movement problems in people with PD.

  • The study targets people aged 50-80 with confirmed PD.
  • Participants must not have had brain surgery or certain sleep disorders.
  • Participants should not be on specific drugs that affect sleep.

If you join, you will help researchers learn if rTMS could be a new way to treat PD. Make sure to discuss with your doctor to see if this study is right for you!

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.
