TMS therapy for Alzheimer's: balancing the brain-gut connection
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial uses a brain stimulation technique called TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) to see if it can help improve memory and thinking by balancing the connection between your brain, your gut, and the bacteria living there. It is for people diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease or dementia who live in the Nanchang area.

This study tests whether a brain stimulation treatment called rTMS can improve symptoms in people with Alzheimer’s disease. It mainly looks at people with mild to moderate dementia and checks whether results differ based on how the treatment is applied.
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called deep repetitive TMS on a brain region linked to memory. It aims to see if this treatment can improve symptoms in people with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease.
This study uses a noninvasive brain stimulation technique called TMS to see if it can slow cognitive decline in older adults who are healthy or have very early signs of Alzheimer's disease. It aims to improve memory and thinking.
This trial tests if a personalized type of brain stimulation (TMS) can help with behavioral and psychological symptoms like agitation or mood changes in Alzheimer's disease. It is double-blind, meaning neither you nor the doctor will know if you get the real stimulation or a placebo.
