NCT ID NCT06956300
First seen Feb 22, 2026 · Last updated May 22, 2026 · Updated 13 times
Summary
This study tests whether a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called rTMS can improve motivation, memory, and brain function in healthy older adults and people with very early Alzheimer's disease. Participants will receive daily stimulation sessions for two weeks, with breaks in between, and will undergo memory tests and brain scans. The goal is to understand how brain activity relates to cognitive decline, not to cure or treat the disease.
