Default TRIAL: Motor Skill Learning in People with Parkinson’s Disease

Motor Skill Learning in People with Parkinson’s Disease

Official Study Title: Evaluation of the Plasticity of the Primary Motor Cortex and Motor Learning in Parkinson's Disease

Sponsor: National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS)

Clinicaltrials.gov ID
: NCT00396942

Study ID: 070020; 07-N-0020

Summary: People with Parkinson's disease (PD) sometimes have trouble learning new skills, but it is not known why. This study will compare brain changes in people with PD with those of healthy participants while they learn motor skills. This study will use repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), nerve conduction studies (electrical nerve stimulation), and electroencephaolography (EEG) to look for differences in the way the brain changes with learning in people with PD. EEG measures the electrical activity of the brain (brain waves). rTMS involves repeated magnetic pulses delivered in short bursts of impulses.
