First seen Jan 22, 2026 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 16 times
Summary
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on people with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease. The goal is to see if targeting a deep brain area (the precuneus) is safe and can help improve memory. Participants will receive either real or placebo stimulation, along with memory tests and brain scans, over several weeks. If successful, this could offer a new way to ease memory symptoms without medication.
