Repetitive TMS of the Posterior DMN in AD

The primary aim of this project is to investigate the safety and efficacy of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on cognition in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. rTMS is considered a safe, well tolerated and relatively cheap treatment. The appealing idea of the intervention is to improve memory by directly modulating the activity of precuneus, key area linked to memory impairment. Patients will be treated with rTMS in two phases: a 2-week intensive phase followed by a maintenance phase for a total of 52 weeks. This project aims to provide a valid treatment to slow the worsening of symptoms and improve quality of life for those with Alzheimer's and their caregivers.
