The Effect of Repeated Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation on Off-line Resting Electroencephalographic Signal in Alzheimer's Disease

Alzheimer Disease Clinical Trial

Official title:
To Investigate the Effect of Application of Repeated Trans-cranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) Applied on the Left Prefrontal Cortex on Electroencephalography Signal Recorded From Brain Regions Involved in Cognitive Function in Patients With Alzheimer's Disease (AD)

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to examine whether the rTMS (repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) could change cortical excitability measured by off-line EEG in Alzheimer's Disease (AD) patients.

Clinical Trial Description

Upon meeting the inclusion criteria and providing informed consent, each participant will complete a series of 21 sessions of rTMS over the course of four weeks.During the first visit, they will be asked to undergo 1 hour of EEG (Electroencephalograph) before they start the repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation sessions (rTMS), 0.5-hour of memory testing using MoCA and Trail Making Test (Trial A and B), 1 hour of rTMS and 1 hour of EEG after rTMS. The second visit will start approximately 24-72 hours after the first visit. During visit 2 to visit 20, participants will receive about 1 hour of TMS session 5 days a week for 4 weeks. During the 21st visit, which will be approximately one day after the last TMS session, participants will be asked to repeat 1 hour of EEG before TMS; 0.5-hour of memory testing using MoCA and Trail Making Test (Trial A and B), 1 hour TMS and 1 hour of EEG after TMS. For this study, a questionnaire concerning any potential side effects will be administrated before and after each session. ;
