First seen Feb 13, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 18 times
Summary
This small pilot study tests whether a fast, repeated form of brain stimulation (accelerated TMS) can safely reduce apathy—a common and troubling symptom—in people with Parkinson's disease. Fifteen participants will receive 48 stimulation sessions over two weeks, with follow-up at two and four weeks. The study focuses on whether the treatment is feasible and tolerable, and whether it improves motivation and brain activity linked to effort and reward.
