Summary

This study tested whether a non-invasive technique called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can safely reduce musculoskeletal pain in people with Parkinson's disease. Researchers treated 62 participants with rTMS or a sham procedure and measured pain changes using pain scales and brain activity via EEG. The goal was to see if rTMS relieves pain and to understand how it affects the brain.
