No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to test the effects of low frequency deep rTMS using the novel H-coil on the motor, affective and cognitive deficits in patients with asymmetric Parkinson's disease (PD), to establish its safety in this population and to test effects of maintenance treatments.

Conditions

  • Asymmetric Parkinson's Disease

Interventions

DEVICE

repetitive transcranial stimulation (r-TMS)

Active treatment with the H-coil will include stimulation over the motor cortex (1 Hz stimulation 110% of the motor threshold for 15 minutes) and over the prefrontal cortex (10Hz stimulation 100% of the motor threshold, 2 seconds each train, 20 seconds between trains, for 15 minutes).

DEVICE

repetitive transcranial stimulation (r-TMS)

Sham treatment with the H-coil will include sham stimulation over the motor cortex and over the prefrontal cortex.
