Sponsor's own description
Objective of the study: To test the efficacy of theta burst cerebellar stimulation on dual task walking in Parkinson's disease using a cross-over design and wearing sensors technology Design: Twenty Parkinson's disease patients with no dementia will be recruited for a cross-over sham-controlled study. Each patient will undergo a sham stimulation or a single session of cerebellar theta burst stimulation with a wash out period of at least 14 days. Each patient will be evaluated before and after stimulation by a battery of gait and movement tests using wearing sensors technology .
