NCT04783493
Brief Summary:
Dopaminergic drugs partially alleviate gait problems in Parkinson's disease, but the effects are not sustained in the long-term. Particularly, the freezing of gait, balance problems and other gait issues directly impacts patients' quality of life. Experimental epidural spinal cord stimulation studies have suggested positive effects on locomotion among PD patients, but the effects of non invasive stimulation have never been explored.
Detailed Description:
The present study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel, phase II clinical trial that will assess the efficacy and safety of transcutaneous magnetic spinal cord stimulation in PD patients who have gait and balance changes refractory to dopaminergic therapy.
