Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Group differences of part 3 of Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) changes
Compare the changes in UPDRS scores from baseline to post-iTBS in the four intervention groups (UPDRS part3: range 0~72, higher score is related to a worse outcome).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Group differences of Hoehn-Yahr stage
Compare the changes in Hoehn-Yahr stage from baseline to post-iTBS in the four intervention groups (H-Y stage: range 0~5, higher score is related to a worse outcome).
Group differences of Berg Balance Scale (BBS) changes
Compare the changes in BBS scores from baseline to post-iTBS in the four intervention groups (BBS: range 0~56, higher score is related to a better outcome).
Group differences of Hamilton depression scale-17 (HAMD-17) changes
Compare the changes in HAMD-17 scores from baseline to post-iTBS in the four intervention groups (HAMD-17: range 0~38, higher score is related to a worse outcome).
Group differences of Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) changes
Compare the changes in HAMA scores from baseline to post-iTBS in the four intervention groups (HAMA: range 0~64, higher score is related to a worse outcome).
Group differences of Mini-mental State Examination (MMSE) changes
Compare the changes in MMSE scores from baseline to post-iTBS in the four intervention groups (MMSE: range 0~30, higher score is related to a better outcome).
Group differences of Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) changes
Compare the changes in MoCA scores from baseline to post-iTBS in the four intervention groups (MoCA: range 0~30, higher score is related to a better outcome).
Group differences of 39-item Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-39) changes
Compare the changes in PDQ-39 scores from baseline to post-iTBS in the four intervention groups (PDQ-39: range 0~156, higher score is related to a worse outcome).
Group differences of 16-item Sniffin' Sticks test (SS-16) changes
Compare the changes in SS-16 scores from baseline to post-iTBS in the four intervention groups (SS-16: range 0~16, higher score is related to a better outcome).
Group differences of Wexner changes
Compare the changes in Wexner scores from baseline to post-iTBS in the four intervention groups (Wexner: range 0~30, higher score is related to a worse outcome).
Group differences of adverse event
Compare the adverse event in four intervention groups.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) is an emerging non-invasive neuron regulation technique, which is widely used in neuropsychiatry for a variety of diseases and is widely accepted by patients due to its non-invasive, operable and relatively precise localization. Combining the results of previous studies and our group's previous research, sixty qualified PD patients would be enrolled to conduct a prospective single-center randomized double-blind sham controlled clinical trial to verify the long-term curative effects of iTBS treatment protocol and explore the neuron-protection of iTBS on neuronal loss of PD patients.
