Modulation of Cognition and Brain Connectivity by Noninvasive Brain Stimulation in Patients With Mild Cognitive Impairment Due to Alzheimer's Disease
This study uses repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, a noninvasive device that sends magnetic pulses through the scalp, to see whether it changes thinking and brain connectivity. Researchers compare brain scans taken before and after stimulation. The trial has no formal phase because it is a device study. It is exploratory, not proven or approved for anything.
