A randomised clinical trial examined the impact of cerebellar stimulation on Alzheimer's patients' ability to regain their cognitive abilities.

The cerebellum is thought to play a role in cognitive processing, according to evidence. Uncertainty exists regarding the precise processes by which cerebellar repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) affects cognitive status.

Methods: 27 Alzheimer's Disease (AD) patients were randomly assigned to one of the two groups in the current randomized, double-blind, shamcontrolled trial: rTMS real or rTMS-sham. We looked at how well bilateral cerebellar rTMS therapy administered over four weeks promoted cognitive recovery and changed certain cerebello-cerebral functional connections.
