Trial Outcomes & Findings for Interleaved TMS-fMRI for Hippocampal Stimulation: Modeling Dose-Response Relationship in Amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment (NCT NCT05515952)

NCT ID: NCT05515952

Last Updated: 2025-07-29

Results Overview

Memory tasks will be implemented and measure the correct rate to assess memory function. The scale is the Face Name Associated Memory Score, and the min/max values are 0-1. A higher score indicates a better outcome.

Active TBS-Sham TBS
Participants first received active stimulation in block 1 and sham in block 2 Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation: TMS is a non-invasive brain stimulation technique. The primary aim of the study will be to verify the deliverability of the TMS effect on the hippocampus and determine which stimulation protocol is more beneficial to each participant. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (Sham): TMS is a non-invasive brain stimulation technique. The primary aim of the study will be to verify the deliverability of the TMS effect on the hippocampus and determine which stimulation protocol is more beneficial to each participant. For sham, the side of the coil that does not deliver pulses will be used.
Sham TBS-Active TBS
