Outline of Final Research Achievements

We examined the effect of repetitive spinal magnetic stimulation (rTSMS) on the bent posture and parkinsonian disability scale in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) complicated with camptocormia. We intermittently performed rTSMS twice weekly for 4 weeks and investigated whether bent angle and motor symptoms were improved. The subjects were 104 PD patients. We randomized them into two groups; rTSMS group performing magnetic stimulation and rehabilitation and control group performing only the latter. As a result, in the rTSMS group, the bent angle and Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) part 3 improved favorably over 3 months. This result suggests that rTSMS enhances the effect of rehabilitation on PD.
