Abstract:Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is widely used in the clinical treatment of psychiatry and neurology, which can improve the motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD), and is an important approach to realize the precision treatment strategy of PD. The pathological changes in basal ganglia circuit lead to diverse clinical types of PD. To understand the modulatory effects of rTMS in key target areas according to different motor symptoms is significant to improve the therapeutic effect. At the beginning of this paper, the effect of rTMS on PD from the perspective of synaptic plasticity and neural circuits was analyzed. Then, the potential stimulation targets of primary motor cortex (M1), dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), supplementary motor cortex (SMA) and cerebellum were reviewed to discuss the modulatory effects of different stimulation parameters in specific brain regions and the effects of different stimulation target areas on different motor symptoms. At last, the main problems in the current research were pointed out, and the future research trends were discussed from the aspects of multi-target stimulation, optimal intervention period, and combination with brain imaging technology.
