Home-based Transcranial Static Magnetic Field Stimulation (tSMS) of the Supplementary Motor Area in Parkinson's Disease
Sponsor: Fundación de investigación HM
Summary
This is a pilot open study to test the hypothesis that home-based transcranial static magnetic field stimulation (tSMS) of the supplementary motor area is safe and feasible to modulate corticostriatal activity in patients with Parkinson's disease.

Transcranial static magnetic field stimulation (tSMS) of the supplementary motor area
Transcranial static magnetic field stimulation (tSMS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) technique that decreases cortical excitability. Static magnetic fields suitable for tSMS are obtained with commercially available neodymium magnets. The investigators will use a cylindrical neodymium magnet of 60 mm diameter and 30 mm of thickness (MAG60r; Neurek SL, Toledo, Spain), which will be applied with south polarity to the supplementary motor area (SMA) using an ergonomic helmet (MAGsv1.1, Neurek SL, Toledo, Spain).
