Investigating the Effect of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation as a Treatment for Alzheimer's Disease and on Sleep Quality
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating rTMS real-sham and rTMS sham-real for Alzheimer's Disease. Completed, enrolled 11 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
This research is being conducted to study whether rTMS (repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) could be potentially used as a treatment for Alzheimer's disease. rTMS is a technique that stimulates the brain by rapidly switching a magnetic field in a coil placed over your head. Prior to rTMS, single pulse TMS will be used to localize the specific brain region that we are interested in.
