Vascular parkinsonism (VP), parkinsonism resulting from ischemic cerebrovascular disease, was suggested in 1929. The main features are wide-based gait, postural instability, and falls, which make patients with VP frustrated. Currently, the treatment is challenging.
Transcranial magnetic stiumation is a noninvasive procedure using electromagnetic induction to stimulate brain, and repetitive transcranial magnetic stiumation (rTMS) can selectively change brain activity to enhance desired effects. The aim of this study is to explore the therapeutic effect of rTMS for the VP.

| Real rTMS Supplementary motor area | Device | There will be a series of four rTMS blocks separated by 10 minutes. Each block will consist of 15 to 25 pulse trains of 1-second duration at 25 Hz, with an intertrain interval of 10 seconds. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) part III-motor part (Number 18 ~31 of UPDRS) | Motor functions will be checked using UPDRS. Each item of the motor part ranges from 0 to 4 (0 means normal, 4 means worst condition). Total sum will be calculated. | 2 days |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Finger tapping test with right hand | Finger tapping test with right hand, as quickly as possible for 15 second. The total number of taps will be calculated. The test will be twice with one minute interval. After the test performed twice, the average of the tests will be used. | 2 days |
| The total number of steps during the stand-walk-sit (SWS) test |

SWS test is Standing up, making a 9 m round trip, and sitting down as quickly as possible. The number of steps will be recorded. |
| 2 days |
| The completion time during the SWS test | The completion time will be recorded. | 2 days |
| Freezing episodes of gait trajectory | The number of freezing episodes during rapid full turns and dual task | 2 days |
| Patient and Clinical Global Impression Scale | 7-point scale that requires the patient (or clinician) to rate the response of the interventions. The rating will be numbered (1: very much improved; 2: much improved; 3: minimally improved; 4: no changes; 5: minimally worse; 6: much worse; 7: very much worse). | 2 days |
