Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a randomized sham-controlled double-blind study to test the hypothesis that transcranial static magnetic field stimulation (tSMS) of the motor cortex improves levodopa-induced dyskinesias in patients with Parkinson's disease. Half of the patients will receive real tSMS treatment, the other half will receive sham treatment (placebo).

tSMS

30 min of tSMS, one session per day, for 9 days over 2 weeks

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

tSMS

Intervention Type DEVICE

Transcranial static magnetic field stimulation (tSMS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) technique that decreases cortical excitability. Static magnetic fields suitable for tSMS are obtained with commercially available neodymium magnets. We will use a cylindrical neodymium magnet of 45 mm diameter and 30 mm of thickness, with a weight of 360 g (MAG45r; Neurek SL, Toledo, Spain), which will be applied with south polarity to the motor cortex, over the representational field of hand area contralateral to the more affected side of the body.

sham

30 min of sham, one session per day, for 9 days over 2 weeks

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

sham

Intervention Type DEVICE

A non-magnetic metal cylinder, with the same size, weight and appearance of the magnet, will be used for sham stimulation (MAG45s; Neurek SL, Toledo, Spain).
