Summary
This study tested a new, non-invasive treatment for walking problems in people with Parkinson's disease who already have a deep brain stimulator (brain pacemaker). 42 participants received either real or fake magnetic stimulation to the spinal cord. The goal was to see if this could improve walking speed and reduce freezing episodes. The treatment is painless and does not require surgery.
