The patients were divided into three groups: those who received real treatment of the motor cortex and prefrontal cortex; those who received real treatment of the motor cortex and placebo treatment of the prefrontal cortex; and those who received placebo treatment of the motor cortex and prefrontal cortex. The assignment of the patients, who received three weekly treatments over four weeks, was random and double-blind (neither the patient nor the researcher knew which group a patient belonged to).
The researchers said that the treatment was found to be safe and resulted in significant clinical improvement among the Parkinson’s patients, and that the results support a subsequent multicenter clinical trial.
