Brain zaps show promise for slowing dementia decline
NCT ID NCT02621424
Summary
This study tested whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique could improve thinking skills in veterans with mild cognitive impairment or early dementia. Researchers used magnetic pulses on the forehead to stimulate brain areas involved in memory and decision-making. They compared real stimulation to fake treatment in 32 participants to see if it helped with word recall, naming objects, and other cognitive tasks.
