NCT ID NCT06538311

First seen Feb 24, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 8 times

Summary

This study tests whether a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called rTMS can improve memory and brain function in older adults with mild memory problems or early Alzheimer's. About 30 participants will receive daily stimulation sessions over two 10-day periods, with memory tests and brain scans to measure changes. The goal is to learn how the stimulation affects brain networks, not to provide a treatment or cure.
