NCT ID NCT07653256
First seen Jun 18, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether combining a painless brain stimulation technique called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) with balance exercises can improve walking and balance in people with Parkinson's disease. Twenty participants aged 40-80 will receive the combined treatment. The goal is to see if this non-drug approach can ease motor symptoms and reduce fall risk.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) device
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a non-drug way to improve balance and walking in Parkinson's disease.
What could go wrong
This is a very small early study (20 people) with no control group, so results may not be reliable or apply to everyone. The treatment is also time-intensive and may not produce lasting benefits.
