Summary

This study tested whether a mild, non-invasive brain stimulation called tACS can improve thinking skills (like planning and problem-solving) and speech in people with Parkinson's disease. Twenty-eight adults received either real or fake (placebo) stimulation for 20 minutes daily over two weeks. Researchers measured changes in memory, attention, and speech control to see if the real stimulation made a difference.
