NCT ID NCT03962959
First seen Apr 21, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 8 times
Summary
This study tested whether a non-invasive, painless technique called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can help prevent memory decline in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or those at high genetic risk for Alzheimer's disease. Researchers used brain scans to personalize the stimulation location and measured memory and brain changes over time. The goal was to find a safe, early intervention to delay or stop progression to dementia.
