TMS for Dementia–An incredible Advance in Treatment Options

Dr. A. Elahi (board-certified neurologist) briefly discusses the use of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in treating dementia and Alzheimer’s disease and shares a recent patient’s incredible experience with treatment. TMS has undergone robust randomized trials showing remarkable improvements in many aspects of dementia including speech, word-finding, memory, and behavior. Neuromodulation strategies are proving to be far more effective than current medications for treatment of dementia. Here, a 92 year-old woman and her husband share the dramatic improvements and life-changing experience with TMS at Dr. Elahi’s neurology clinic.
