Parkinson's Disease Motivation Study

Are you someone living with Parkinson's disease?

If you have been living with Parkinson's disease for at least 5 years and take medication for Parkinson's disease, you may be eligible to participate in a research study aimed at treating low motivation with a form of non-invasive brain stimulation called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).
