Acronym:
TPS
Brief Summary:
TPS is a non-invasive therapeutic modality that uses focused, low-energy pulse stimulation to stimulate tissue regeneration and reduce inflammation. In the context of neurological disorders, it is hypothesized that TPS can modulate neuronal activity, enhance synaptic plasticity, and reduce neuroinflammation. It is a relatively new application in neurological disease treatment and is still under intense investigation.
Detailed Description:
This pilot randomized placebo-controlled trial investigates the effects of transcranial pulse stimulation in subjects with early Alzheimer's Disease (AD). The TPS/Sham-TPS is administered for the first two weeks, followed by additional sessions at some week intervals. The transcranial pulse stimulation device used in this trial is a CE-certified medical instrument (ISO 9001 and ISO 13485).
The study aims to evaluate cognitive function, and neuropsychiatric symptoms using the some cognitive assessment tools, Frontal near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), and fasting blood test at baseline at week 12.
This study is expected to lay the groundwork for future, larger-scale studies
