Conditions

Insomnia Chronic, Subjective Cognitive Decline (SCD)

Brief summary

Insomnia is the most common form of sleep disorder, and subjective cognitive decline (SCD) in patients with insomnia may be an ultra-early manifestation of AD. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has emerged as a promising tool for the treatment of insomnia by modulating neural excitability and inducing plasticity. However, there is a lack of studies on rTMS treatment of cognitive impairment associated with insomnia. The efficacy and safety of rTMS for cognitive impairment in insomnia patients with SCD will be assessed by a randomized controlled trial.
