- Meta-analysis evaluates non-invasive neuromodulation techniques (rTMS, tACS, tDCS) for improving cognitive function in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI).
- Techniques assessed include repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS), and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS).
- Primary outcomes measured were scores on MMSE, MoCA, and ADAS-cog scales.
- Results show rTMS, tACS, and tDCS all improve cognitive function in AD and MCI patients.
- tDCS is more effective than rTMS on MMSE and MoCA scales but less effective on ADAS-cog.
- Study concludes these techniques are effective and safe for cognitive improvement in AD and MCI.
