Summary

Focal repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has been applied to improve cognition in Alzheimer's disease (AD) with conflicting results. In this study we aimed to explore feasibility, safety and efficacy of excitatory rTMS of bilateral DLPFC applied with H-coil in AD in a pilot randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study.
