Join a Clinical Trial Exploring New Treatments to Improve Walking and Balance
Are you aged 60 or older and concerned about your mobility, walking, and balance?
The I-STIM Study at the Hinda and Arthur Marcus Institute for Aging Research in Boston is seeking participants. I-STIM stands for Individualized Stimulation to Improve Mobility.
I-STIM Study Goals
The goal of the study is to determine whether non-invasive brain stimulation improves balance, walking, and memory in older adults.
I-STIM Study Participation Overview
The I-STIM Study involves:
- Up to 27 visits over eight months
- Balance, walking, and memory testing
- 20 sessions of non-invasive brain stimulation
- Optional MRI scans
- Compensation of up to $510
Visits can take place in the comfort of your own home, or at the Marcus Institute’s Roslindale location. If you prefer to come to us, free parking and/or transportation can be provided.
