The influence of one session of low frequency rTMS on pre-supplementary motor area metabolites in late stage Parkinson's disease.

CONCLUSIONS: LF rTMS at the right pre-SMA in late stage Parkinson's disease patients does not alter tNAA/tCr, but influences tCho/tCr ratio, in particular in patients with shorter disease duration. SIGNIFICANCE: Pre-SMA LF rTMS seems to influence membrane turnover, more importantly in patients with shorter disease duration. Larger LF rTMS treatment studies applying multiple sessions are needed.
