Self-administered tDCS for Improving Single- and Dual-task Gait in Patients With PD

Study on tDCS use for improving walking in Parkinson's patients.

Phase N/A

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a brain disorder that affects movement, often causing walking difficulties. This study examines if a special treatment, called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), which uses a mild electrical current to stimulate the brain, can help improve walking in people with PD. Participants will try this non-invasive method themselves at home to see if it helps with walking tasks that require both thinking and moving.

Those eligible for this study must have been diagnosed with PD and be in specific stages of the disease. Participants should not have any history of seizures, metal implants, or other health conditions that might interfere with the study.

  • The study requires participants to self-administer tDCS at home.
  • Participants should not have any metal implants or a history of seizures.
  • The study aims to see if tDCS can improve both thinking and movement in PD patients.

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.
