Summary

This study tested whether low-frequency magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on the cerebellum could improve symptoms in people with Parkinson's disease. Forty adults aged 40–80 with mild to moderate Parkinson's took part. Researchers measured changes in movement, brain scans, and blood markers of inflammation. The goal was to see if this non-invasive treatment could ease symptoms without surgery or drugs.
