Strengthened theta-burst transcranial magnetic stimulation as an adjunctive treatment for Alzheimer ’s disease: An open-label pilot study

Alzheimer ’s disease (AD) is a globally prevalent debilitating neurodegenerative disorder with significant socioeconomic implications. Presently, successful neuroprotective or curative treatments for AD are lacking [1]. However, one promising alternative therapy is repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulati on (rTMS) [2]. Most studies have chosen the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) as the stimulus target because of its neuroplasticity and important role in cognitive functions (such as association memory) [3].
