Abstract excerpt
Patients with Parkinson's Disease (PD) experience bothersome motor fluctuations and Levodopa-induced Dyskinesias (LIDs). Cerebellar continuous theta burst stimulation (cTBS) was used as an inhibitory protocol of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to reduce LIDs in PD patients.
