Brief summary (registry, in English)
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is characterized by the absence of treatments to slow, stop, or reverse its course, with patients finally losing cognitive functions, skills and independence. It is a chronic degenerative disease with high social and medical burden worldwide: AD ranked third among neurological disorders in terms of disability-adjusted life years (DALY) rates. The primary aim of the research protocol is to improve care for patients with AD, by implementing, with an innovative method, the currently available repertoire of neuromodulation techniques. For this aim, we will investigate whether Transcranial Pulse Stimulation (TPS) may induce cognitive improvement in patients with an early stage of dementia.
