Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation For Alzheimer's Disease


   Certain kinds of magnetic fields may prove to be helpful for alzheimer patients. Reuven Sandyk, of NeuroCommunication Research Labs, has pioneered the use of magnetic fields to treat various diseases. He uses very tiny magnetic fields, 5 to 8 hertz frequency, and of picotesla strength. Two alzheimer patients were treated with these fields, applied to the head region. Both patients showed remarkable improvements in drawing abilities,as measured by the Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure test [205].
