This clinical trial aims to evaluate whether individualized targeted repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can improve motor and non-motor symptoms in patients with parkinsonian disorders. The main question it aims to answer is:
Procedures:
Parkinsonian disorders, including Parkinson's disease, multiple system atrophy, and progressive supranuclear palsy, are characterized by heterogeneous motor and non-motor manifestations that may respond incompletely to conventional pharmacological and rehabilitative treatments. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation may provide a noninvasive approach to modulating dysfunctional brain networks. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and potential clinical effects of individualized, network-guided repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation in patients with parkinsonian disorders.
This is an ongoing, single-center, single-group, open-label interventional study comprising disease-specific cohorts of participants with Parkinson's disease, multiple system atrophy, and progressive supranuclear palsy. Individualized stimulation targets are identified using structural and functional magnetic resonance imaging, with particular attention to sites within the somato-cognitive action network. Participants receive intermittent theta burst stimulation according to the stimulation protocol specified in the intervention section of this record.
Clinical, neuroimaging, and neurophysiological assessments are performed before treatment, immediately after completion of treatment, and at the prespecified follow-up visit. Clinical assessments evaluate motor function, mobility, balance, ataxia, non-motor symptoms, autonomic symptoms, orthostatic blood pressure regulation, and urinary function, as applicable to each disease cohort. Magnetic resonance imaging and electroencephalography are used to explore treatment-related changes in brain network function. Medications and rehabilitation regimens are maintained as stable as clinically feasible during the treatment period.
An initial cohort of eight participants with multiple system atrophy was evaluated as an early, disease-specific pilot and exploratory analysis of the ongoing parent study. This analysis was conducted to assess treatment feasibility, safety, and preliminary clinical changes in the multiple system atrophy cohort. These participants form part of the overall study population and do not constitute a separate clinical trial. Recruitment and follow-up of the parent study are ongoing.

| TMS | Device | Intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) will be delivered using a figure-of-eight coil targeting the individualized somato-cognitive action network sites (involving superior and central region) in the left hemisphere. Stimulation intensity will be set at 100% of the resting motor threshold. The iTBS protocol will consist of bursts of 3 pulses at 50 Hz, repeated at 5 Hz. Each stimulation train include 10 bursts, with an inter-train interval of 8 seconds. A total of 60 trains will be delivered, resulting in 1800 pulses per session, with four consecutive sessions and a 50-minute interval between sessions, yielding 7200 pulses per target, and a total of 14,400 pulses per day, over ten consecutive working days. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Change in motor symptoms measured by MDS-UPDRS Part III | Motor symptoms will be assessed using the Movement Disorder Society-sponsored Revision of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) Part III. The total score ranges from 0 to 132, with higher scores indicating more severe motor impairment and a worse outcome. Change from baseline will be calculated at the specified follow-up visit. | Baseline to post-treatment and 10 weeks after treatment |
| Change in mobility measured by the 5-meter Timed Up and Go test | Mobility will be assessed using the 5-meter Timed Up and Go test. The result is recorded as the time in seconds required to stand up from a chair, walk 5 meters, turn around, walk back, and sit down. The theoretical minimum value is 0 seconds, and there is no fixed maximum value. A longer time indicates poorer mobility and a worse outcome. Change from baseline will be calculated at the specified follow-up visit. | Baseline to post-treatment and 10 weeks after treatment |
| Change in non-motor symptoms measured by the Non-Motor Symptoms Questionnaire | Non-motor symptoms will be assessed using the Non-Motor Symptoms Questionnaire. The total score ranges from 0 to 30, with higher scores indicating a greater burden of non-motor symptoms and a worse outcome. Change from baseline will be calculated at the specified follow-up visit. | Baseline to post-treatment and 10 weeks after treatment |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Change in motor symptoms measured by UMSARS Part II | Motor impairment in patients with multiple system atrophy will be assessed using the Unified Multiple System Atrophy Rating Scale (UMSARS) Part II. The total score ranges from 0 to 56, with higher scores indicating more severe motor impairment and a worse outcome. Change from baseline will be calculated at the specified follow-up visit. | Baseline to post-treatment and 10 weeks after treatment |

| Change in disease severity measured by PSPRS | Disease severity in patients with progressive supranuclear palsy will be assessed using the Progressive Supranuclear Palsy Rating Scale (PSPRS). The total score ranges from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating greater disease severity and a worse outcome. Change from baseline will be calculated at the specified follow-up visit. | Baseline to post-treatment and 10 weeks after treatment |
| Change in balance measured by the Berg Balance Scale | Balance function will be assessed using the Berg Balance Scale. The total score ranges from 0 to 56, with higher scores indicating better balance performance and a better outcome. Change from baseline will be calculated at the specified follow-up visit. | Baseline to post-treatment and 10 weeks after treatment |
| Change in ataxia severity measured by SARA | Ataxia severity will be assessed using the Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (SARA). The total score ranges from 0 to 40, with higher scores indicating more severe ataxia and a worse outcome.
