Advantage of Cerebellar Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in Alzheimer's Diseases (ACT-AD)
Sponsor: Xijing Hospital
Summary
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is the primary cause of dementia, with its prominent feature being cognitive decline. The cerebellum plays a crucial role in cognitive processing, making it a potential target for therapeutic intervention. This study will be conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of cerebellar Intermittent theta-burst stimulation (CRB-iTBS) in participants with mild Alzheimer's disease on the change from baseline in the Clinical Dementia Rating-Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB) at 3 months of treatment in the Core Study. This project aims to provide a valid treatment to improve the cognitive function and quality of life for those with Alzheimer's disease.
