Description
Myoung-Ho Lee, Ju-Hak Kim, Je-Seung Han, and Myoung-Kwon Kim pool trials of magnetic brain stimulation for walking and balance in Parkinson disease, in a review from 2025. The disease slows movement and unsettles gait, and drugs alone often leave those problems partly untreated. A non invasive stimulation method that repeats pulses over the scalp is one candidate add on.
Following standard review guidance, the team searched five databases for randomized trials up to the end of 2024. Nineteen trials with 547 patients in all met the bar. Data covered pulse rate, target site, dose, and session counts, so the pool could test which settings work best. Outcomes spanned gait, motor scores, and balance. The pooled verdict aims to give clinics a firm basis for using the method.
