Individual Participant Data (IPD) Sharing Statement

Will individual participant data (IPD) be shared publicly (including data dictionaries)?  

Brief Summary   Parkinsons Disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder and the most common movement disorder. The present research aims to study the efficacy of the Rtms using a neural navigator. This makes the work and therapeutic efficacy free from human error. Hence, if our research turns out to be positive at the completion of this project, then this program can be used for providing rTMS to patients suffering from Parkinson Disease along with other movement related disorders in order to improve their quality of life domains including cognition and behavioural aspect as they are found to be impaired which often gets under diagnosed and is found to have disabling effects on their lives. Hence, such treatment would help them restore optimal functional independence, moreover. It would also help in clinical and public health perspective. Since the existing management method (pharmacological) for various neurological disorders more often aims at relieving physical symptoms than neuropsychological symptoms. Hence such a study was planned where the quality of life is targeted for better community and social integration.
