Parkinson’s disease

Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative condition that mainly affects nerve cells that regulate movement.  Muscle rigidity, tremors, and changes in speech and gait are all common symptoms associated with Parkinson’s.  Treatments can help relieve symptoms, but there is no cure. Research studies have shown significant results when using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) for Parkinson’s disease. Regular low- or high-frequency TMS can diminish tremors, freezing, and rigidity in patients. Unlike deep brain stimulation (DBS), TMS is non-invasive.  Patients experience little to no pain and the treatment uses no radiation or electrical stimulation.
