- ÍtemAcceso AbiertoLa estimulación magnética transcraneal como opción de tratamiento para el Alzheimer. Una revisión bibliográfica(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2023) Sanmartín Guzmán , Cristopher; Soliz Espinoza , Jhinson; Arévalo Proaño, Claudia; 0107144495; 0302688163Background: Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative pathology associated with the progressive deterioration of individuals’ cognitive and behavioral domains. The symptomatology primarily manifests as behavioral and neuropsychological difficulties, including challenges in learning processes, memory, and motor functions. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive technique that aims to stimulate specific areas of the cerebral cortex using brief magnetic field pulses. Objective: To discriminate the efficacy of TMS in treating Alzheimer's disease. Methodology: The research design was qualitative and descriptive. Results: Analysis of clinical trials revealed significant improvements in the cognitive domain of Alzheimer’s patients. The NeuroAD application program, which combines TMS with computerized cognitive training, demonstrated a strong correlation of effectiveness, as evidenced by pre- and post-treatment evaluation instruments. Conclusions: Transcranial magnetic stimulation shows promise in providing effective and noteworthy results, capable of mitigating the neuropsychological alterations characteristic of Alzheimer's disease. Current clinical trials of this treatment for the disease have made significant advances toward establishing a standardized and efficient application protocol. However, there is still no scientific/empirical evidence for its approval.
