Targeted brain stimulation for behavior problems in Alzheimer's
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a formal diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease
- You have mild to moderate dementia (MMSE score 10-24)
- You have some behavioral or mood symptoms (NPI score of 4 or higher)
- You are 50 or older and right-handed
- You must be on stable dementia medication for at least 1 month before starting
- No history of seizures, stroke, head injury, or other major brain condition
