Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • fMRI - Activation level comparison of the motor and supplementary cortex

    Baseline and PostStim (right after the stimulation is terminated)

  • fMRI - Activation level comparison of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) and basal ganglia including pedunculopontine nucleus (PPN)

    Baseline and PostStim (right after the stimulation is terminated)

  • fMRI - STN, PPN and cortical connectivity alterations

    Baseline and PostStim (right after the stimulation is terminated)

Study Arms (2)

Active Stimulation

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Acupuncture needles will be inserted into the auricular zones and electrical stimulation will be given for 20 minutes.

Device: Electrical Stimulation

Dry Needling

OTHER

Acupuncture needles will be inserted into the auricular zones for 20 minutes. However, no electrical stimulation will be given

Other: Dry Needling Stimulation

Interventions

Percutaneous electrical nerve stimulation
