Parkinson’s Disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that affects movement and often includes symptoms like tremors, rigidity, and depression. Managing these symptoms effectively is key to improving patients’ quality of life. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) shows promise in this area.
Benefits of TMS for Parkinson’s Disease:
Studies, such as the randomized controlled study by Shirota et al., suggest that TMS can alleviate motor and non-motor symptoms associated with Parkinson’s disease. By stimulating specific brain regions, TMS helps improve motor function and mood regulation.
Patient Success Stories:
Patients undergoing TMS therapy for Parkinson’s disease have reported reduced tremors, improved mobility, and enhanced mood. TMS’s non-invasive nature and minimal side effects make it a valuable adjunctive therapy for managing Parkinson’s symptoms.
