Superior Parietal iTBS for PD-MCI

8. července 2026 aktualizováno: Sam Crowley, Medical University of South Carolina

Accelerated Intermittent Theta Burst Stimulation for Mild Cognitive Impairment in Parkinson's Disease

The goal of this study is to determine the whether a short-term, high-dose form of non-invasive brain stimulation (intermittent theta burst stimulation; iTBS) is a promising and safe treatment for mild cognitive impairment in Parkinson's disease (PD-MCI).

Detailní popis

Dementia occurs in 80% of people with Parkinson's disease (PD) within 20 years of diagnosis. Cognitive interventions in PD have centered on individuals with mild cognitive impairment (PD-MCI). A lack of efficacy of pharmacological interventions in PD-MCI has driven interest in nonpharmacological approaches. The most promising of these is intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS), a noninvasive brain stimulation method that is FDA-approved for several psychiatric conditions. Though iTBS has shown little to no benefit in PD-MCI thus far, there are modifiable issues with past interventions including exclusively targeting prefrontal cortex when cholinergic denervation in posterior cortex is strongly associated with cognitive decline in PD, and substantial underdosing compared to efficacious iTBS interventions (6,000 vs at least 18,000 pulses). Interventions will likely have better outcomes if they target the right superior parietal lobule (rSPL), a cortical region impacted by cholinergic denervation in PD that is essential to maintaining attention, and use accelerated iTBS (a-iTBS) to deliver a stimulation dose commensurate with FDA-approved protocols in a shorter timeframe. However, before the efficacy of such an intervention can be evaluated, it must be established as safe, tolerable and feasible in PD-MCI. This project therefore aims to evaluate the safety, tolerability and feasibility of a three-day a-iTBS intervention stimulating the rSPL with 18,000 total pulses.

Popis

Inclusion Criteria:

Intervence / Léčba
Experimentální: Accelerated iTBS
Participants will undergo accelerated intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) targeting the right superior parietal lobule (rSPL) using a MagVenture MagPro system with a cooled butterfly coil, with Brainsight neuronavigation identifying the stimulation site. Resting motor threshold (rMT) will be determined on the first stimulation visit using Parameter Estimation by Sequential Testing (PEST). Stimulation for the intervention will be delivered at 120% rMT. Stimulation sessions will occur over three consecutive days. Each day will include 10 sessions separated by 10-15 min. Each session delivers 600 pulses (50 Hz triplets; 2 s on/8 s off; ~190 seconds), totaling 6,000 pulses/day and 18,000 pulses overall. Coil position/angle and scalp-to-cortex distance are tracked; tolerability/acceptability (headache, pain, scalp irritation, facial twitching, fatigue, fear/anxiety) will be assessed before and after sessions.

Participants in this single-arm study will receive a accelerated course of intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) over superior parietal lobule, which is identified with MNI coordinates from past studies. The stimulation will be delivered using a MagVenture MagPro TMS System with a butterfly, active cooling coil at 120% of resting motor threshold.

Each participant will complete 3 consecutive treatment days, undergoing10 rTMS sessions per day (600 pulses/session), totaling 18,000 pulses across the study. Safety, tolerability, adherence, and feasibility data will be collected for the intervention.

Tolerability of TMS procedures
Časové okno: Week 4, 5 minutes before and 5 minutes after stimulation sessions on Days 1-3
A questionnaire evaluating the presence and severity of commonly experienced side effects of TMS (i.e. headache, pain, scalp irritation, facial twitching, fatigue, fear/anxiety) within the past 24 hours and during stimulation. Ratings will be on a 6-point Likert scale from 0 (no symptoms) to 5 (severe symptoms).

Test-retest reliability of the Continuous Temporal Expectancy Test (CTET)
Časové okno: Week 0 (4 weeks pre-intervention) to Week 4, Day 1 (30 minutes prior to intervention)
The CTET is a tablet-administered measure designed to assess sustained attention and distractibility. Participants will be shown a grid with black and white squares on a tablet that rotate after either a longer duration (target stimulus; 1070ms) or a shorter duration (non-target stimulus; 800ms) and must press the screen when they identify a target stimulus. Participants will complete 10 one-minute trials. Half of the trials are performed without a distractor present, and the other half are performed with an audio-video distractor presented on an adjacent laptop screen. The primary outcome is the distractibility score, defined as the difference in latency (in ms) to identifying the target stimulus between distractor and non-distractor trials.

It was developed using advanced psychometric techniques to minimize measurement error and produces normed subtest and composite scores. We will use the fully-corrected T-score (range T=0-100; Mean T=50, SD=10; higher scores indicating better cognition) of the Fluid Cognition Composite and Crystallized Cognition Composite, which are normed for age, sex, years of education, and race/ethnicity.
