- Original description
This study investigates the use of patterned repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (prTMS) as an intervention for bradykinesia in Parkinson's Disease (PD). More specifically, the study aims to determine whether prTMS over the supplementary motor area (SMA) can reduce severity of bradykinesia in PD patients. This approach may open for more targeted and effective treatment of bradykinesia in PD.Read full original descriptionShow less
Enhancing rTMS Effects Through a State-Dependent Approach - An Intervention for Bradykinesia in Parkinson's Disease
This study investigates the use of patterned repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (prTMS) as an intervention for bradykinesia in Parkinson's Disease (PD). More specifically, the study aims to determine whether prTMS over the supplementary motor area (SMA) can reduce severity of bradykinesia in PD patients. This approach may open for more targeted and effective treatment of bradykinesia in PD.
