[Abstract] Freezing of gait (FOG) is a paroxysmal gait disturbance observed in patients with advanced-stage Parkinson's disease, significantly impacting their quality of life. However, there is still no clear elucidation of the pathogenesis and changes in brain structure and function during the course of the disease. In recent years, multimodal MRI imaging techniques, primarily utilizing diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), three-dimensional T1-weighted imaging (3D T1WI) and functional MRI (fMRI) have been widely employed in the exploration of the pathogenesis of neurological disorders. These techniques have provided new insights into the underlying mechanisms of FOG. Recent research indicates a close association between changes in visual, motor, and cognitive networks and the occurrence of FOG. The author aims to conduct a review by analyzing recent domestic and international literature, summarize multimodal MRI exploration of structural and functional changes in the brains of Parkinson's disease patients with freezing of gait. The review discusses the current controversial aspects of FOG research and proposes new perspectives for future comprehensive elucidation of its pathogenesis using multimodal MRI.
