Huntington's disease (HD) is a neurodegenerative pathology characterized by choreic hyperkinesias which represent the typical motor symptom and are represented by involuntary, aimless, irregular, recurrent, unpredictable and non-rhythmic movements of the trunk, face and limbs. Non-invasive brain neuromodulation has been proposed as a possible treatment for involuntary movements in several clinical conditions including HD. The objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of home treatment with repeated sessions of transcranial static magnetic field stimulation (tSMS) in safely reducing choreic hyperkinesis in HD patients.
