Summary

This study tests if a personalized, non-invasive brain stimulation method called rTMS, combined with walking exercises, can help people with Parkinson's disease who experience freezing of gait—a sudden inability to start walking. Up to 15 adults aged 50-80 will receive the treatment over about 16 weeks. The study focuses on whether the approach is tolerable and shows early signs of improving gait, but does not offer direct medical benefit to participants.
