Bilateral low frequency rTMS of the primary motor cortex may not be a suitable treatment for levodopa-induced dyskinesias in late stage Parkinson's disease Vrije Universiteit Brussel Ghent University
BACKGROUND: In late stage Parkinson patients there is an unmet need for new treatments to adequately control motor complications, especially dyskinesias. In several preliminary studies, it has been suggested that applying unilateral low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (LF rTMS), delivered at the primary motor cortex (MC) or the supplementary motor area (SMA), may reduce levodopa-induced dyskinesias (LID), either in a ...
