Improve walking and movement control

Trial ID
NCT07309198
Official Title
Effects and Mechanisms of Non-invasive Deep Brain Stimulation in Patients With Parkinson's Disease
Goal
Improve walking and movement control
Phase
NA
Status
RECRUITING
Sponsor
Shanghai University of Sport
Study Type
INTERVENTIONAL
Enrollment
36 participants
Conditions
Parkinson's Disease
Interventions
Transcranial Temporal Interference Stimulation (TIS)

Plain-Language Summary

They want to see whether noninvasive deep brain stimulation can change the deep motor circuits that drive Parkinson's movement problems and to learn how those changes happen. The method, transcranial temporal interference stimulation, sends two high-frequency electric fields that overlap to produce a low-frequency signal deep in the brain, modulating activity in targets like the basal ganglia without directly stimulating the scalp, and it is tested while participants keep their usual Parkinsons meds unchanged. Looking for people aged 50 to 80 with physician-diagnosed idiopathic Parkinsons, Hoehn and Yahr stages 1.5 to 3 who can walk unassisted, on a stable antiparkinsonian regimen for at least 4 weeks, and with MoCA of 21 or higher. People with MRI or stimulation contraindications, prior DBS, current antipsychotic or antidepressant use, major psychiatric illness, certain cardiovascular or orthopedic risks are excluded.
