Summary

This study tested if a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) could improve thinking and walking in people with Parkinson's disease. 41 participants received either real or fake rTMS sessions over two weeks. The results showed that real rTMS improved cognitive function and the ability to walk while doing another task, with no serious side effects.
