Trial Outcomes & Findings for Transmagnetic Stimulation Pilot in Early Stage Alzheimer's Disease (NCT NCT05292222)

NCT ID: NCT05292222

Last Updated: 2025-01-07

Results Overview

Assessed by calculating the difference and standard deviation between follow-up and baseline of number of abnormal connections of the TGd parcellation. Range: 0-378. There are 378 possible connections of the parcellation. Higher values indicate more abnormal connections of the TGd parcellation pre and post-treatment. The change in the number of abnormal connections of the parcellation is reported.

Measure
Intermittent Theta Burst Stimulation
All subjects will receive treatment with intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS). There will be a total of 5 treatments over a 2-week period. All subjects will receive iTBS to the right TGd region. TBS treatment will also be provided for two additional sites within the large-scale brain networks (LSBNs) that is found to contain the greatest number of connectivity anomalies. Total participation will be 10-12 weeks. Intermittent theta burst stimulation: MagVenture TMS Therapy with theta burst stimulation. Resting motor threshold: 80%; Number of pulses per session: 1200 pulses; Inter-train interval: 8 seconds; Pulse frequency in burst: 50 Hertz
