Detailed Description

Parkinson's disease is the second most common chronic neurodegenerative disease.At present, researchers focus not only on the motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease, but also on the non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (including mood disorders, sleep disorders, cognitive decline, and autonomic nervous kinetic disorder, etc.).The principle of transcranial magnetic stimulation is based on the electromagnetic principle proposed by Faraday. When an electrifying coil is suspended over the scalp at a certain distance, the magnetic field generated by the coil current and the electric field generated by the magnetic field can reach the skull and directly or indirectly affect the synapses and neurons in the brain.The study by giving a sleep disorder Parkinson's disease patients with different patterns of ultra-low frequency transcranial magnetic stimulation or sham stimulation, scale for assessment of the patients were observed, hematology and imaging changes before and after therapy, clear ultra-low frequency transcranial magnetic stimulation for sleep disorder Parkinson's disease treatment, to explore the mechanism of action, compare the difference between different modes.

Phase

Phase

The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
