PDにおける無関心に対する加速TMS

2026年11月2日 更新者：Medical University of South Carolina

パーキンソン病における無気力症に対する加速経頭蓋磁気刺激法（TMS）

This single-site, open-label pilot study will evaluate the feasibility, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of accelerated intermittent theta-burst stimulation (iTBS) targeting the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (dmPFC) for apathy in individuals with Parkinson's Disease (PD). Fifteen participants with PD and clinically significant apathy will undergo imaging (EEG and MRI) and one day of TMS including twelve iTBS sessions across two visits. Outcomes include adherence, tolerability, changes in apathy (Lille Apathy Rating Scale), functional engagement, and neural target engagement assessed via resting-state fMRI and EEG. Follow-up assessments will occur at one week, two weeks, and four weeks post-treatment. Fifteen participants with PD without clinically significant apathy will act as a comparison group and will undergo imaging (EEG and MRI), assessments, and questionnaires at baseline. Caregivers for each participant will complete questionnaires regarding their co-participant's symptoms as well as answer questions about their experience as a caregiver.

詳細な説明

This study is designed to explore a new treatment option for people with Parkinson's disease who experience apathy, which means loss of motivation or interest in daily activities. Apathy is common in Parkinson's disease and can lower quality of life, but current treatments are limited. Investigators are testing whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is tolerable, acceptable and can be used to improve apathy in patients with Parkinson's disease. TMS delivers brief magnetic pulses to specific areas of the brain that are linked to motivation and decision-making. In this study, Investigators will use an "accelerated" version of TMS, which gives several short sessions in a single day, reducing the number of visits required. The purpose of this research is to see whether this treatment approach is feasible, tolerable and and potentially effective at treating apathy in people with Parkinson's disease. If successful, this research study will hopefully lead to a larger study in the future where the efficacy of the treatments can be studied.

介入・治療
実験的：PD Apathetic group

Participants with Parkinson's disease and clinically significant apathy receive accelerated iTBS rTMS targeting the left dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (dmPFC) using a MagVenture MagPro system with a cooled figure-of-eight coil and Brainsight neuronavigation (slightly off midline). Resting motor threshold (rMT) is determined on the first stimulation visit (PEST) and stimulation is delivered at 120% rMT. Treatment occurs on one day, with 12 sessions separated by 10-15 min. Each session delivers 600 pulses (50 Hz triplets; 2 s on/8 s off; ~190 s), totaling 7,200 pulses overall. Coil position/angle and scalp-to-cortex distance are tracked; tolerability/acceptability (headache, pain, scalp irritation, facial twitching, fatigue, fear/anxiety) is assessed before/after sessions.
デバイス：Accelerated intermittent theta-burst stimulation (iTBS) rTMS to left dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (dmPFC)

Accelerated intermittent theta-burst stimulation (iTBS) rTMS to left dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (dmPFC) (MagVenture MagPro with cooled figure-of-eight coil; Brainsight neuronavigation; 120% rMT; 1 treatment day; 12 sessions; 600 pulses/session; 10-15 min inter-session interval).
介入なし：Non-Apathetic PD Control Group

Participants with Parkinson's Disease without clinically significant apathy will not undergo TMS but will act as a comparison group at baseline. This group will undergo imaging (EEG and MRI), assessments, and answer questionnaires with their caregiver.
