What this trial is about
At present, no drug therapy has been proven to delay the progression of Parkinson's disease (PD). rTMS, as a non-invasive neuromodulation method, can regulate Slow-wave sleep (SWS). SWS is recognized closely related to neurodegeneration. However, there has been no clinical studies on if rTMS could delay the progression of PD by regulating SWS. The main purpose of this study is to explore the changes of SWS in non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep period in PD patients by using rTMS, and the relationship with potential improvements of SWS and motor symptom delay. The study aims to find a potential new treatment strategy to delay the neurodegenerative process in PD patients by modulating SWS by rTMS.
