Clinical Trail of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) in the Treatment of Upper Limb Bradykinesia in Parkinson' Disease' Patients
Sponsor: Xinhua Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine
Summary
A randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled unicenter clinical trial was used to investigate the effectiveness and neural mechanism of high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation in the treatment of upper limb bradykinesia in patients with Parkinson's disease.

Interventions
high frequency-repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation
rTMS involves the repeated application of magnetic pulses to specific areas of the brain. These pulses are delivered using a coil placed on the scalp, which generates a magnetic field that induces electrical currents in the brain tissue.
sham stimulation
The sham group receives 10 sessions of rTMS stimulation with a sham stimulation coil, which emits the same sound and vibration as the active coil but does not produce any induced electrical currents.
