NCT ID NCT07346989
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jul 07, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called rTMS, combined with a therapeutic exercise program, can improve physical function and quality of life in prefrail older adults aged 65-90. Researchers will measure changes in frailty status, walking speed, and brain plasticity markers. The goal is to find a safe, effective way to prevent decline and help seniors maintain independence.
