Study Summary

The purpose of this research study is to attempt to treat apathy in Parkinson's disease (PD) using high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) of the brain and to investigate the patterns of brain activation that may be involved in apathy. It is hypothesized that high-frequency rTMS of the left mid-dorsolateral frontal cortex will improve apathy in PD.

Primary Outcome

The apathy evaluation scale is a 14-item self-report questionaire that provides a quantitative estimate of apathy symptoms. Items are given a score of 0-3, and a total score is summated using all items. Scores may range between 0 and 42. Higher scores are indicative of greater symptoms of apathy, and a score of 14 is suggestive of clinically significant symptoms.
