Zapping the brain to fight Alzheimer's?
NCT ID NCT03880240
Summary
This study tested whether a gentle, non-invasive form of brain stimulation could help people with early Alzheimer's disease. Researchers used a device to deliver a specific electrical frequency to the brain, hoping it would reduce the buildup of harmful proteins linked to memory loss. The small trial compared different doses of the stimulation to a placebo to check for safety and see if it improved thinking skills.
