MRI-Guided Temporal Interference Stimulation for Parkinson's Disease
Sponsor: Tongji Hospital
Summary
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tTIS treatment in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). The study will enroll eligible PD patients and randomly assign them to two groups: Group A will first receive combined GPi and STN stimulation, followed by GPi stimulation one week later; Group B will first receive GPi stimulation, followed by combined GPi and STN stimulation one week later. The MDS-UPDRS Part III will be assessed at pre-stimulation baseline, immediately after stimulation, and at 30 and 60 minutes post-stimulation for each session, in order to evaluate and compare the therapeutic effects of tTIS targeting GPi alone versus combined GPi and STN stimulation on motor symptoms in PD patients, and to assess the differential efficacy of tTIS at different targets among PD patients with varying symptoms.

Interventions
Temporal Interference Stimulation (130 Hz)
All participants will receive individualized T1-weighted MRI scans for computational modeling to determine optimized electrode placement and stimulation parameters for transcranial temporal interference stimulation targeting the subthalamic nucleus. The stimulation protocol is designed to generate a focal 130 Hz interference field in the target region while minimizing cortical activation. Parameters including electrode positions and current intensity are customized based on each participant's unique neuroanatomy to ensure precise and tailored neuromodulation.
