Summary

Brain stimulation in movement disorders

This trial will explore the effects of very gentle electrical stimulation of the brain in patients with movement disorders. Other studies have already been carried out and have shown that brain stimulation may help to improve mental abilities and the symptoms of conditions such as depression and stroke. The investigators will show whether this method can help with symptoms such as memory and concentration problems in patients with movement disorder who have mild to moderate problems with these mental abilities. The investigators will also look at the effects of brain stimulation on movement symptoms and mood. These people will be compared to healthy people to help us understand whether brain stimulation works differently in healthy people and people with brain disorders.

This trial is being carried out at one centre in Birmingham. It is scheduled to begin in September 2014 and will last for up to five years. As the study commences it is being funded by Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health Foundation Trust and University of Birmingham. The investigators plan to recruit up to a maximum of 200 individuals in this study.
