Brain zapping trial aims to halt Alzheimer's decline

NCT ID NCT07036328

First seen May 20, 2026 · Last updated May 20, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can slow down cognitive decline in people with early Alzheimer's disease. Researchers will treat 55 participants with either real or sham rTMS over 24 weeks, targeting a key brain region affected by Alzheimer's. The goal is to see if this approach can stabilize memory and thinking, offering a new treatment option without the side effects of current drugs.
