Comparative efficacy of rTMS on different targets in Alzheimer’s disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Comparative efficacy of rTMS on different targets in Alzheimer’s disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis

BackgroundRepetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is emerging as a promising non-invasive intervention for Alzheimer’s disease (AD), yet therapeutic outcomes remain inconsistent across studies. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the cognitive benefits of rTMS in AD patients, with a spe...
