No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Randomized clinical trial, comparative and single blind aims to determine effects on cognition, psychological and behavioral symptoms and functionality of 5 Hz repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) administered over left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (lDLPFC) compared to six regions protocol, divided in two sub-conditions: day 1 (Broca area, Wernicke area and lDLPFC) alternated by day 2 (left and right parietal association cortex, and right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex \[rDLPFC\]). Main outcomes will be evaluated at ending of 15 rTMS sessions and 4 weeks after.

DEVICE

repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation- IDLPFC

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) at 5Hz administered over left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (lDLPFC). Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) at 5Hz administered over left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (lDLPFC) compared to six regions protocol, divided in two sub-conditions: day 1 (Broca area, Wernicke area and lDLPFC) alternated by day 2 (left and right parietal association cortex, and right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex \[rDLPFC\]). Main outcomes will be evaluated at ending of 15 rTMS sessions and 4 weeks after.
