What this study is about
Researchers are testing if deep repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) targeting the precuneus can improve memory in people with probable Alzheimer's Dementia. The trial will compare active rTMS to a sham treatment, while also monitoring brain changes and memory function.
