简要总结
This study evaluated transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) for freezing of gait in patients with Parkinson's disease. Participants with Parkinson's disease and freezing of gait received conventional TMS protocols, and their clinical, gait, and neurophysiological outcomes were assessed. Patients who did not achieve sufficient improvement after conventional TMS were further treated with a combined primary motor cortex and cerebellar stimulation protocol. The study aimed to identify factors associated with differential response to conventional TMS and to explore whether cerebellar stimulation could improve symptoms in treatment-resistant patients.

入选标准
- •(1) a score of ≥ 1 on MDS-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) Item 13 or FOGQ Item 3, with freezing episodes during gait initiation, turning, or navigating narrow spaces confirmed by two independent investigators; (2) a stable antiparkinsonian medication regimen for at least four weeks before enrollment; (3) right-handedness; (4) age ≥ 40 years; (5) no current use of antidepressants, anxiolytics, or antipsychotic agents. Antiparkinsonian medications and their dosages remained unchanged throughout the study.
排除标准
- •(1) personal or family history of atypical parkinsonian syndromes, including multiple system atrophy, progressive supranuclear palsy, corticobasal degeneration, Wilson's disease, and vascular parkinsonism; (2) coexisting movement disorders or other neurodegenerative conditions; (3) gait-impairing disorders such as primary progressive freezing of gait; (4) impaired consciousness, or visual, auditory, or language deficits that precluded full assessment; (5) severe systemic diseases, including cardiopulmonary disorders, hepatic or renal insufficiency, malignancies, and hematologic or autoimmune diseases; (6) prior cranial surgery or deep brain stimulation (DBS); (7) pregnancy; (8) history of epilepsy; (9) severe cognitive impairment with a Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score below 24; and (10) other contraindications to TMS.
结局指标
主要结局
Freezing of Gait Questionnaire Improvement Rate
时间窗: Baseline and 1 month after treatment
The improvement rate of the Freezing of Gait Questionnaire was calculated as \[(pre-treatment FOGQ score at baseline - post-treatment FOGQ score at one-month follow-up) / pre-treatment FOGQ score at baseline\] × 100%. Participants with an improvement rate of at least 30% were classified as treatment responsive.
次要结局
- Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale Part III Score(Baseline, within 24 hours after treatment, and 1 month after treatment)
- Upper-Limb Short-Interval Intracortical Inhibition(Baseline and within 24 hours after treatment)
