Overview

This randomized clinical trial aims to compare the effects of two different trans-spinal magnetic stimulation (tsMS) application sites, cervical versus thoracic, when combined with repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), on functional mobility in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD). Participants diagnosed with PD will be randomized into two intervention groups (rTMS + cervical tsMS or rTMS + thoracic tsMS) and will undergo 10 treatment sessions. Outcomes will include functional mobility, gait speed, motor function, freeing of gait, balance, quality of life, global perceived improvement and adverse events. The study is expected to identify the most effective tsMS application site to enhance mobility and motor outcomes in PD, contributing to the optimization and standardization of tsMS protocols as an adjunct therapy.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
