Clinical Multicenter Randomized Controlled Study of Simultaneous Cognitive Training With Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in the Treatment of VaD-MCI Patients

This project plans to recruit 164 patients with VaD-MCI. They were randomly divided into simultaneous cognitive training with active transcranial magnetic stimulation group and simultaneous cognitive training with sham transcranial magnetic stimulation group. Patients receive treatment 3-7 days a week, and the daily treatment time is 20-40 minutes. The duration of treatment is 1-12 weeks. Before treatment, cognitive assessment, resting EEG, head MRI and PET examination were completed. Complete the overall cognitive assessment, resting EEG and MRI examination within one week after the treatment, and complete the overall cognitive assessment and PET examination at the follow-up 6 months after the treatment. Fill in the treatment side effect scale and adverse event form. Keep the original oral drug dosage unchanged during the treatment process.

Inclusion criteria

The inclusion criteria based on MRI examination include: ① Multiple supratentorial subcortical lacunae (3-20 mm) with or without white matter degeneration, or moderate and severe white matter degeneration (Fazekas score ≥2) with or without lacunae; ② White matter lesions such as cortical/watershed infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, hydrocephalus or other causes (such as multiple sclerosis) were excluded; ③ There was no medial atrophy of hippocampus or temporal lobe (MTA 0); Can cooperate to complete clinical research.
