Magnet therapy aims to unfreeze Parkinson's walkers
NCT ID NCT05008289
Summary
This study tested whether a non-invasive magnetic device placed on the back could improve walking and balance in people with Parkinson's disease. It focused on patients whose walking problems persisted despite taking medication and having a deep brain stimulator implanted. Researchers compared the effects of real magnetic stimulation to a placebo treatment in 42 participants to see if it helped them walk faster and more steadily.
