Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a central nervous system disorder characterized by movement abnormalities such as tremors, rigidity, and gait freezing. The major hypothesis for the cause of PD is the reduction in dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra, a region in the middle of the brain. The main association tract connecting the substantial nigra to the spinal cord and motor cortex is called the corticospinal tract. The corticospinal tract has been identified to have impairment in PD patients and most neuromuscular disorders. An area of research that is being established and expanded upon for the treatment of PD is noninvasive brain stimulation using electrical stimulation with pulses called Transcranial Pulsed Current Stimulation (tPCS). A novel form of tPCS is being developed named Amplitude-Modulated tPCS (am-tPCS) where the polarity of the pulsed current being delivered b.. View More»
