Brain zaps may unlock walking secrets in Parkinson's
NCT ID NCT07351032
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how a brain area called the Posterior Parietal Cortex helps people with Parkinson's disease transfer walking skills from a treadmill to the ground. Researchers will use mild brain stimulation (rTMS) in 24 participants to see if it improves stride length and other walking measures. The goal is to understand the brain's role, not to provide a treatment.
