Efficacy of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for Improving Depressive Symptoms in Patients With Parkinson's Disease

28. april 2026 opdateret af: Ho-Won Lee

Efficacy of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for Improving Depressive Symptoms in Patients With Parkinson's Disease : A Single-Center, Randomized, Single-Blinded, Sham-Controlled, Parallel-Design, Investigator-Initiated Exploratory Clinical Trial

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in improving depressive symptoms in patients with Parkinson's Disease (PD).

Participants will be randomly assigned to either an active rTMS group or a sham-control group.

The study aims to establish an optimal treatment protocol using a neuronavigation system and to validate treatment responses through various digital biomarkers such as facial expression analysis and eye-tracking.

Våben og indgreb

Deltagergruppe / Arm
Intervention / Behandling
Eksperimentel: Real rTMS
Participants receive active repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to bilateral primary motor cortex (M1), guided by neuronavigation (BrainEyes). Stimulation is delivered at 10 Hz, 90% of resting motor threshold (RMT), 1,000 pulses per session, once daily for 5 consecutive weekdays. Participants continue their existing Parkinson's disease medication throughout the study.
Enhed: Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS)
High-frequency rTMS is delivered to bilateral primary motor cortex (M1) using neuronavigation guidance (BrainEyes). Parameters: 10 Hz, 90% of resting motor threshold (RMT), 50 pulses per train, 55-second inter-train interval, 20 trains per session, 1,000 pulses per session, once daily for 5 consecutive weekdays.
Sham-komparator: Sham rTMS
Participants receive sham repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to bilateral primary motor cortex (M1), guided by neuronavigation (BrainEyes). The coil is tilted 90 degrees perpendicular to the scalp so that no magnetic field is delivered to the cortex. The same click sound and scalp sensation are maintained to preserve participant blinding. The session parameters are identical to the active rTMS group (10 Hz, 1,000 pulses per session, once daily for 5 consecutive weekdays). Participants continue their existing Parkinson's disease medication throughout the study.
Enhed: Sham Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (Sham rTMS)
Sham rTMS is delivered with the coil tilted 90 degrees perpendicular to the scalp to prevent magnetic field delivery to the cortex. The same click sound and scalp sensation are maintained. Session parameters are identical to active rTMS group.
