The effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation on cognitive impairment in Parkinson’s disease with dementia: Pilot study

Background:The exact mechanism of cognitive impairment in PD is not known. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has been proposed as a possible treatment for cognitive impairment and to treat the motor symptoms in Parkinson’s disease (PD) where its effects seem additive to those of d opaminergic medications.
