Putamen-Focused tTIS Lowered Parkinson's Motor Scores

TL;DR: A 2026 preprint posted to medRxiv found that intermittent theta-burst transcranial temporal interference stimulation (iTBS-tTIS), a noninvasive electrical method aimed at the right putamen, lowered left-sided Parkinson’s motor scores during stimulation in 19 patients. Key Findings 19 Parkinson’s patients and 19 healthy controls completed a randomized, double-blind crossover stimulation study. MDS-UPDRS III, the motor …

8 Plasma Biomarkers to Predict Parkinson’s Disease Up to 7 Years Before Motor Symptoms (2024 Study)

by

A study identified a panel of eight plasma biomarkers that can predict Parkinson’s disease up to seven years before motor symptoms appear. Highlights: Biomarker Panel: The study validated a panel of 8 proteins, including Granulin precursor and Complement C3, using mass spectrometry, which can differentiate Parkinson’s patients from healthy controls and identify pre-motor individuals with …
