The primary objective of this trial is to assess the ability of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation with H coil to prefrontal cortex , with an addition of cognitive brain training, to improve cognitive performance in patients with Alzheimer's disease which received drug treatment. This study is a single-center, double-blind 4 months duration trial.
Primary outcome measure: ADAS-COG (time frame baseline, 2 months, 4 months) Secondary outcome measure: CGI-C,FAB, ADL, Neuropsychological computerized test(time frame baseline, 2 months, 4 months.
Estimated enrollment: 40 patients Estimated Study start Date: November 2008 Estimated Study Completion date: November 2009 Number of arms: 2
Ages: 50-85 Genders: both
