Cognititve effects of transcranial static magnetic field stimulation in aging

Basic Information

Recruitment status	Recruiting
Health condition(s) or Problem(s) studied	None
Date of first enrollment	18/03/2026
Target sample size	160
Countries of recruitment
Study type	Interventional
Intervention(s)	tSMS is performed once a day for 20 minutes. If a participant feels anxious during stimulation, adjustments of stimulation are made as necessary. Neodymium magnets are used for tSMS on both frontal lobes. The neodymium magnets are cylindrical, with a diameter of 50 mm and a height of 30 mm. Non-magnetic steel of the same shape is used for sham stimulation.

Outcome(s)

Primary Outcome	Comparison of EEG activity changes between real stimulation and sham stimulation of tSMS
Secondary Outcome	Comparison of changes in cognitive function and dual task assessments between real stimulation and sham stimulation of tSMS
