Study Summary
In this study, the investigators aim to investigate the effects of non-invasive neurostimulation - low-intensity transcranial electrical stimulation in conjunction with transcranial ultrasound (TUS)- on the motor symptoms associated with Parkinson's disease. The investigators want to see if there is a difference between active and sham stimulation on these motor symptoms.
Primary Outcome
We will measure motor symptoms using the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS), bradykinesia tests and walking tests. We will assess the changes in these scales from baseline.
