Cerebellar TMS and Satiety in Prader-Willi Syndrome (NCT05938543)
Noninvasive Neuromodulation of a Novel Cerebellar Satiety Circuit in Prader-Willi Syndrome
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This study uses a noninvasive technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to study hyperphagia and satiety in Prader-Willi syndrome. TMS is a noninvasive way of stimulating the brain, using a magnetic field to change activity in the brain. The magnetic field is produced by a coil that is held next to the scalp. In this study, the investigators will be stimulating the brain to learn more about how TMS might improve hyperphagia in Prader-Willi syndrome.
