Read our Alzheimer Disease research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)—a non-invasive technique that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate parts of your brain—in people with Alzheimer's disease. Researchers want to see if this treatment can improve memory, thinking ability, and sleep quality in people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's. You would receive 10 sessions of treatment over 5 days, and researchers will track your progress with memory tests, sleep monitoring, and brain imaging.
Some research suggests this treatment may help brain function in Alzheimer's disease, but scientists need to confirm whether it actually improves memory and sleep. This study will also help researchers understand how the brain clears out harmful proteins during sleep, and whether better sleep might protect thinking and memory.

If you join this study, you will come in over 5 days to receive 10 sessions of magnetic brain stimulation (or a sham treatment if randomly assigned to the control group). Each session involves magnetic pulses applied to a specific area of your forehead—it's painless but you may feel tapping sensations. Before, during, and after the treatment, you'll complete memory and thinking tests, sleep studies (which may involve wearing a device overnight), and brain imaging scans. You'll have follow-up visits at 1 month and 3 months after treatment to see how you're doing.
