Transcranial Pulse Stimulation for Alzheimer's Disease
NCT07143734 · Status: RECRUITING · Phase: PHASE2 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 40
Last updated 2025-09-16
Summary
TPS is a non-invasive therapeutic modality that uses focused, low-energy pulse stimulation to stimulate tissue regeneration and reduce inflammation. In the context of neurological disorders, it is hypothesized that TPS can modulate neuronal activity, enhance synaptic plasticity, and reduce neuroinflammation. It is a relatively new application in neurological disease treatment and is still under intense investigation.
Conditions
- Alzheimer Dementia (AD)
Interventions
- DEVICE
-
transcranial pulse stimulation (TPS)
The TPS/Sham-TPS therapy is administered for the first two weeks, followed by additional sessions at some week intervals.
- DEVICE
-
transcranial pulse stimulation (TPS-Sham)
Participants will undergo an identical procedure using a device that mimics the sound and sensation of active TPS but delivers no therapeutic energy pulses to the brain.
