About This Trial
Freezing of gait (FOG) stands out as a devastating symptom of Parkinson's disease (PD), where patients may become momentarily glued to the ground, rendering them incapable of walking efficiently. The pathogenesis of FOG remains uncertain but is likely attributed to functional perturbations in superficial cortical and deep locomotion regions. FOG tends to manifest more prominently during complex wa…
