Brain pacemaker trial aims to slow Alzheimer's decline

NCT ID NCT07218081

Summary

This early-stage study is testing whether deep brain stimulation (DBS) can help maintain or improve thinking abilities in people with early Alzheimer's disease. Researchers will implant a device that delivers mild electrical pulses to a specific brain area in six participants, while six others receive standard care for comparison. The main goal is to see if DBS can sustain cognitive function for at least two years compared to the natural progression of the disease.
