简要总结

In this study, the investigators aim to investigate the effects of non-invasive neurostimulation - low-intensity transcranial electrical stimulation in conjunction with transcranial ultrasound (TUS)- on the motor symptoms associated with Parkinson's disease. The investigators want to see if there is a difference between active and sham stimulation on these motor symptoms.

  • Age 40 or over;
  • Taking stable medications for at least 30 days

排除标准

  • Features suggestive of other causes of parkinsonism/Parkinson's-plus syndromes;
  • History of deep brain stimulation or ablation surgery, mass brain lesions;
  • History of schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, other psychosis, episode of bipolar illness, alcohol/drug abuse within the past year;
  • Need for rapid clinical response due to conditions such as initiation, psychosis, or suicidal;
  • Contraindications to transcranial brain stimulation or TUS, i.e. metal in the head, implanted brain medical devices, etc;
  • Unstable medical conditions (e.g. uncontrolled diabetes, uncompensated cardiac issues, heart failure, pulmonary issues, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease);
  • Pregnancy.
  • Epilepsy or disorders that increase likelihood of seizures including: moderate or severe traumatic brain injury, congenital birth defects leading to seizures, brain tumor, metabolism disorders associated with seizures, and nonlacunar stroke.

结局指标

主要结局

Changes in Motor Function

时间窗: Measured for approximately 2 months

We will measure motor symptoms using the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS), bradykinesia tests and walking tests. We will assess the changes in these scales from baseline.

次要结局

  • Safety(Measured for approximately 2 months)
  • Neurophysiological Changes(Measured for approximately 2 months)
