Brain zapping trial for Parkinson's freezing stalls out

NCT ID NCT05625386

First seen Nov 19, 2025 · Last updated May 08, 2026 · Updated 18 times

Summary

This study tested whether giving a stronger type of magnetic brain stimulation (TMS) to two brain areas instead of one could better help people with Parkinson's disease who experience freezing of gait—a sudden inability to move their feet. The trial planned to enroll 64 adults aged 40 and older who had freezing episodes, but it was terminated early. The main goal was to see if the dual-target, high-dose approach improved walking more than standard TMS.
