Non-invasive Brain Stimulation and Exercise Intervention for Patients With Motor Neuron Disease

Sponsor: Chulalongkorn University

Summary

Motor neuron disease (MND) is a progressive neurological disorder involving degeneration of motor neurons, leading to muscle weakness, speech and swallowing difficulties, and respiratory failure. This study aims to develop a novel treatment approach combining personalized repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) with mixed reality (MR) exercise-based games (exergames) to slow disease progression and improve quality of life. In this randomised controlled trial study will compare three groups: (1) rTMS with MR exercise (personalized intervention), (2) rTMS with MR exercise (standard intervention), and (3) sham rTMS with MR exercise. Outcomes will be assessed at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months post intervention. The long-term goal is to implement this approach in clinical settings to enhance care for people with MND.
