Summary

This study evaluates the effect of 5Hertz (Hz) repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) on Left Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex enhancing Cognitive Stimulation in Mild Cognitive Impairment.

Detailed description

Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is defined as an intermediate state between normal aging and an early stage of neurodegenerative diseases. It is estimated that exist 24.3 million people worldwide with neurocognitive disorders. Cognitive Stimulation (CS) is defined as the set of techniques and strategies that optimize the effectiveness in various functions of different cognitive abilities throughout its use in rehabilitation on MCI. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) is a safe neuromodulation technique that modifies brain electrical activity through electromagnetic fields. There is evidence of the relationship between CS and rTMS for the improvement in MCI levels and cognitive functions; it´s important to deepen the knowledge of the therapeutic potential of both techniques combined on MCI
