Description

Bojun Wang and co-authors pool trial results in 2025 on a brain stimulation method for Alzheimer dementia and mild memory loss. The method sends repeated magnetic pulses through the skull and does not need surgery.

Thirty one trials fed the check of short term thinking gains, and nine fed the check of gains at follow up. All used at least one of three standard tests of memory and thought. The pooled results showed a clear gain in thinking scores right after treatment. The study also probed which settings of the treatment mattered, checked for bias in the trial set, and tested how stable the findings were.
