Summary

This study is a double-blinded randomized study examining the effectiveness of the dual-site repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation on Freezing of Gait (FOG) in patients with Parkinson's disease. The investigators hypothesize that treatment using magnetic stimulation on double site (including M1-LL and SMA) will improve FOG and gait symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease.

Conditions

  • Parkinson Disease

Interventions

DEVICE

magnetic stimulation

Patients in the Experimental group underwent ten sessions of double-site high frequency rTMS over the bilateral primary motor cortex of the lower leg and supplementary motor area, whereas patients in the Active Comparator group underwent ten sessions of single-site active magnetic stimulation with high frequency rTMS over the bilateral primary motor cortex of the lower leg. In addition, patients in the Sham Comparator group underwent 10 sessions of double sham rTMS on motor cortex.
