Study on the Effect of External Magnetic Stimulation on Patients
With Parkinson's Disease The purpose of this research study is
to test the usefulness of external magnetic stimulation (EMS)
for treating the motor, cognitive, and neuropsychiatric symptoms
of Parkinson's disease (PD). Participants with Parkinson's
disease will be recruited at the PADRECC of the Philadelphia VA
Medical Center. Enrolled participants will be randomly assigned
to receive either active external magnetic stimulation or fake
stimulation. The external magnetic stimulation is delivered by
wearing a helmet that is embedded with many small circuits which
produce a very small magnetic field around the head. The helmet
is to be worn daily for two minutes immediately before bedtime
for three months in a row. The helmet is for investigational use
only and has not been approved for use by the FDA. |Study
