Accelerated intermittent theta-burst stimulation broadly ameliorates symptoms and cognition in Alzheimer's disease: A randomized controlled trial

Xingqi Wu et al.

Summary: Accelerated intermittent theta-burst stimulation (iTBS) in the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) has been shown to enhance associative memory (AM) in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Results indicate that patients in the active group showed significant improvements in AM at week 2 and week 10, particularly those with higher baseline Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores.

Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) of Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex May Influence Semantic Fluency and Functional Connectivity in Fronto-Parietal Network in Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI)

Sabrina Esposito et al.

Summary: This preliminary study aimed to evaluate the effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). The results showed significant improvements in executive performance and changes in brain functional connectivity (FC) in MCI patients who received rTMS treatment.

Effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation on gait disorders and cognitive dysfunction in Parkinson's disease: A systematic review with meta-analysis

Shan Deng et al.

Summary: This study found that repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has a positive effect on freezing of gait (FOG) and cognitive dysfunction in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). However, the optimal rTMS protocol is still unknown and further high-quality studies are required.

Effects of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in Patients With Mild Cognitive Impairment: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

Xinqi Zhang et al.

Summary: This meta-analysis study found that repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can improve cognitive and memory function in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). High-frequency, multi-site, and prolonged rTMS produced more pronounced improvement in cognition function in MCI patients.

Cortical plasticity is correlated with cognitive improvement in Alzheimer's disease patients after rTMS treatment

Xingxing Li et al.

Summary: The study investigated the correlation between cognitive function improvement and cortical plasticity changes in AD patients receiving rTMS treatment, finding a slight but significant improvement in cognitive ability in the treatment group, with the improvement in cortical plasticity correlating with cognitive changes.
