Conditions studied: Parkinson Disease
In brief
Postural instability is one of the cardinal signs in Parkinson's disease (PD). It represents one of the most disabling symptoms in the advanced stages of the disease. It is associated with frequent falls and loss of independence. The aim of the current study is to assess the long term efficacy of high frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on improving postural instability in PD patients.
