Phase N/A

Parkinson's Disease (PD) affects how the brain controls movement. One problem in PD is that the brain's "gamma oscillations" (brain waves important for movement and learning) are not working well. Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation (tACS) is a safe method that sends small electrical currents to the brain, aiming to fix these brain waves. This study explores if tACS can help improve movement and learning in PD patients.

Participants will receive gamma-tACS on a part of the brain called the primary motor cortex (M1), which is involved in controlling movement. Researchers will use special techniques to measure if patients' movement skills get better.

  • Study Duration: Information on how long the study lasts is not provided.
  • Eligibility: Participants must have a PD diagnosis but no severe mental health issues or other brain disorders.
  • Risks: Participants with certain conditions or on specific medications that affect the brain might not be eligible.

This study is important because it might find a new way to help people with PD improve their movement skills through brain stimulation.

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.
