Clinical Trial Summary

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a non-invasive and widely used neuromodulation technology. Small sample studies have shown that rTMS treatment can significantly improve the symptoms of Parkinson's disease(PD) and delay the progression of the disease. In order to further explore the effectiveness of rTMS in the treatment of PD and lay the foundation for its clinical promotion, our research team plans to conduct a randomized double-blind controlled study of rTMS in the treatment of PD in multiple centers across the country.

Description:

This is a multi-center, double-blind, randomized controlled study that will be implemented in multiple hospital centers in China. In this study, the supplementary motor area (SMA) of the dominant hemisphere was selected as the stimulation target, and continuous theta burst stimulation (cTBS) sequence contact stimulation was used for a course of continuous stimulation for 7 days to observe the changes in clinical symptoms before and after the intervention.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Movement Disorder Society- Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale III scores	This is an very common clinical motor estimating scale with 18 items and 140' in total. Higher scores indicate worse symptoms.	baseline; week 3; week 6;week 10;week 14
Secondary	Movement Disorder Society- Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale ? scores	MDS-UPDRS I is used to evaluate the daily life non-motor symptom experience of patients with Parkinson's disease. It includes 13 items with a total score of 52 points. Higher scores indicate worse symptoms.	baseline; week 3; week 6;week 10;week 14
Secondary	Movement Disorder Society- Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale ? scores	MDS-UPDRS II is used to evaluate patients' experience of daily life motor symptoms, such as speech function, eating ability, daily living ability (eating, dressing, hygiene), tremor, walking, etc. It includes 13 items with a total score of 52 points. Higher scores indicate worse symptoms.	baseline; week 3; week 6;week 10;week 14
Secondary	Movement Disorder Society- Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale ? scores	The MDS-UPDRS IV questionnaire assesses the severity of two motor complications in patients: dyskinesias and motor fluctuations, combined with previously known and objective information. It includes 6 items with a total score of 24 points. Higher scores indicate worse symptoms.	baseline; week 3; week 6;week 10;week 14
