Brief Summary: The aim of the study is to test the effects of low frequency deep rTMS using the novel H-coil on the motor affective and cognitive deficits in patients with Parkinsons disease PD and to establish its safety in this population

The investigators anticipate to recruit 10 patients to an open pilot study All patients will receive an active rTMS stimulation and will be given 12 treatment sessions over a period of up to 4 weeks Each of the 12 daily treatment sessions lasting about 30 minutes each will be consisted of 25 stimulation trains over the prefrontal cortex 20Hz trains 2 seconds each with an inter-train interval of 20 seconds and one train of 15 minutes at 1 Hz over the the motor cortex

The following outcome measures will be taken prior to the treatment screening visit and at day 1 10 30 60 and 90

1 Unified Parkinsons Disease Rating Scale UPDRS
2 Clinical Global Impression of Severity CGIS
3 Pegboard test
4 Tapping test
5 Up Go test
6 Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale AIMS Mood and affect Beck Depression Inventory BDI Cognition

1 Mini mental State examination MMSE 2 Digit forward and backward tests 3 Word fluency 4 Frontal Assessment Battery FAB

Side effects will be closely monitored by the researchers and will be promptly reported to the IRB
