In this study, we want to understand whether we can use non-invasive brain stimulation to treat non-moto symptoms like autonomic nervous system dysfunction and depression in people with Parkinson's disease.
At each visit, you will be asked to fill out questionnaires about non-motor symptoms you may be experiencing. You will also have 3 sessions of non-invasive brain stimulation using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), which is a safe and FDA-approved treatment for depression. Each session will be separated by 3 weeks. You will have a brief EEG performed just before and just after each stimulation session. Finally, a member of our study team will call you and ask questions about your symptoms 1 day and 4 days after each stimulation session.
