NCT ID NCT07346794

First seen Jan 17, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 17 times

Summary

This study tests if a safe, non-invasive treatment called rTMS (magnetic brain stimulation) can improve memory and thinking in people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. Researchers think it may work by balancing the connection between gut bacteria and the brain. 200 Alzheimer's patients will receive real or fake rTMS for 4 weeks, while 200 healthy adults serve as a comparison group. All participants will have cognitive tests, stool and blood samples, and brain scans over one year.
