Study Summary

This study looks at the potential benefits of combining cognitive training (mental exercises) together with transcranial magnetic stimulation (also known as TMS) to see if this can make a difference in the condition of people with Alzheimer's disease by improving their disease and the cognitive decline that goes along with it.

Primary Outcome

Assessment to measure the severity of all of the most important symptoms of Alzheimer's disease: loss of memory, language, praxis, and attention. The total scoring range is 0-70, with 0 representing the least impairment and 70 the most severe impairment. The results posted below represent a change in score from baseline. A positive change represents an improvement on the ADAS-Cog (change = 1 month score - baseline score).

Interventions

  • DEVICE Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS)
  • BEHAVIORAL NICE Cognitive Training
