The present results suggest that repeated sessions of home-based tSMS of the motor cortex are feasible, safe. While this study reported no significant objective benefit (moderate evidence of absence), but significant subjective benefit (moderate evidence) for the treatment of levodopa-induced dyskinesias in PD. To seek evidence of objective benefit, future studies should investigate longer tSMS treatments.

It is NOT TMS< rather a stationary magnet that is worn.

From the discussion: "We found non-significant difference..."

Magnet therapy has been around for a long time. I remember a colleague gave me a rubberized magnetic pad that could wrap around a joint. The degree of magnetism is expressed as Gauss. Medical magnets have 1000 Gauss. I didn't want to experiment on a patient so I used it on my own sore Achilles. It seemed to help but I realized the rubbery matrix generated a lot of heat. I could get the same effect by wrapping Saran Wrap around my leg. BUT 1000 Gauss magnets are available from medical supply companies.
