Individualized Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in Parkinsonian Disorders
Sponsor: Peking University First Hospital
Summary
This clinical trial aims to evaluate whether individualized targeted repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can improve motor and non-motor symptoms in patients with parkinsonian disorders. The main question it aims to answer is: * Does individualized targeted rTMS alleviate symptoms of parkinsonian disorders? * Which clinical manifestations of parkinsonian syndromes are responsive to individualized targeted rTMS, and to what degree? Procedures: * Preparation (Screening) Participants will undergo clinical assessments, MRI, and EEG before the treatment. * Treatment (2 Weeks) Participants will receive a 10-day TMS treatment (once daily, Monday-Friday). Each treatment day takes approximately 3-4 hours. Participants need to keep stable medications and rehabilitation routines during this time. * Follow-up (10 Weeks) Participants will undergo follow-up assessments at the end of treatment and 10 weeks after treatment. Assessments include clinical scales, MRI, and EEG.

Interventions
TMS
Intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) will be delivered using a figure-of-eight coil targeting the individualized somato-cognitive action network sites (involving superior and central region) in the left hemisphere. Stimulation intensity will be set at 100% of the resting motor threshold. The iTBS protocol will consist of bursts of 3 pulses at 50 Hz, repeated at 5 Hz. Each stimulation train include 10 bursts, with an inter-train interval of 8 seconds. A total of 60 trains will be delivered, resulting in 1800 pulses per session, with four consecutive sessions and a 50-minute interval between sessions, yielding 7200 pulses per target, and a total of 14,400 pulses per day, over ten consecutive working days.
