Magnets and therapy target Alzheimer's silent struggle
NCT ID NCT04482179
Summary
This small study tested whether combining a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (TMS) with intensive speech therapy could improve verbal communication in people with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease. Twenty-three participants received either real or sham (fake) brain stimulation followed by speech therapy sessions. The goal was to see if this combination could help people with Alzheimer's find their words and communicate more effectively.
