Zapping the brain to stop Parkinson's falls
NCT ID NCT05198076
Summary
This study is testing whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), can help improve balance and stability in people with Parkinson's disease. About 40 patients will be randomly assigned to receive either physical therapy alone or physical therapy plus 12 sessions of high-frequency magnetic stimulation to the brain's motor area. The main goal is to see if adding the brain stimulation provides longer-lasting improvement in balance, which could help prevent falls and maintain independence.
