Effect of transcranial pulsed electromagnetic fields (T-PEMF) on functional rate of force development and movement speed in persons with Parkinson’s disease: A randomized clinical trial
Abstract Background: Parkinson’s disease is caused by dopaminergic neurodegeneration resulting in motor impairments as slow movement speed and impaired balance and coordination. Pulsed electromagnetic fields are…
The effect of 8 weeks of treatment with transcranial pulsed electromagnetic fields on hand tremor and inter-hand coherence in persons with Parkinson’s disease
Abstract Background: Parkinson’s disease (PD) tremor comprises asymmetric rest and postural tremor with unilateral onset. Tremor intensity can be amplified by stress and reduced by attention,…
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for Parkinson’s Disease and Stroke Speech Rehabilitation
Aphasia is recognised as a common and debilitating communication impairment, as a result of a stroke lesion. Language deficits in aphasia transpire as a result…
The effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in the patients with Parkinson’s disease [Japanese]
Abstract The 1-Hz rTMS of 320 stimuli with an intensity of 90% of motor threshold was applied over the vertex of the skull using a…
Contralateral and ipsilateral repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation in Parkinson patients [German]
Abstract In seven women and two men with Parkinson’s disease, Hoehn and Yahr stage 1 or 2, the effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)…
Therapeutic effect and mechanism of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation in Parkinson’s disease
Abstract The therapeutic effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on clinical performance was assessed by a double-blind study in 9 patients with Parkinson’s disease…
Effect of slow repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation on depression in patients with Parkinson disease [Cyrillic]
Abstract Recent studies have suggested that both high- and low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) have antidepressant effects in patients with major depression. We conducted…
Nonlinear analysis of brain activity in magnetic influenced Parkinson patients
Abstract Magnetoencephalogram (MEG) recordings were obtained from the brain of patients suffering from Parkinson’s disease (PD) using the Superconductive Quantum Interference Device (SQUID). For each…
Magnetic fields in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease
Abstract Levodopa-induced dyskinesias are a common complication of chronic dopaminergic therapy in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD). The overall prevalence of levodopa-induced dyskinesias ranges from…
