View on ClinicalTrials.gov →
Summary
This study aims to investigate the effects of high-frequency and low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) over the supplementary motor area (SMA) on gait performance, especially gait initiation, in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD). Furthermore, the investigators will explore the impact of rTMS over the SMA on walking speed, functional mobility, and limits of stability in PD. It is hypothesized that rTMS over the SMA will improve gait performance in PD.
