The effect of focal 5 Hz repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) of the motor hand area (M1) on bradykinesia was studied in 12 unmedicated patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). On 2 separate days, a real-rTMS was applied to M1 contralaterally to the more severely affected limb or a frontal sham-rTMS was applied 3 cm anteriorly to Fz in a random order. Stimulus intensity was 10% below resting motor threshold. Before and 20 min after rTMS, patients performed 15 consecutive pointing movements with the index finger contralaterally to the stimulated M1. Compared with sham-rTMS, real-rTMS over the contralateral M1 caused a significant decrease in total movement time without affecting end-point accuracy. Our data provide evidence that 5 Hz rTMS over M1 can improve bradykinesia in PD patients beyond the time of magnetic stimulation.
