An interventional study of ATNC MDD-V1 (Real TMS + Real Cog) and ATNC MDD-V1 (Sham TMS + Real Cog) in Alzheimer's Disease, Dementia and Brain Diseases, sponsored by Advanced Technology & Communications. Recruiting at 11 sites in South Korea. Open to participants aged 60 Years to 85 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-04-23.
Sponsored by Advanced Technology & Communications · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
The study tests the effect of the ATNC MDD-V1 on Alzheimer patients' cognitive function. The ATNC MDD-V1 uses non-invasive stimulation of both magnetic and cognitive training.
The ATNC MDD-V1 system is a combined system of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation and cognitive training and is a non-invasive therapeutic system for the improvement of Alzheimer patients' cognitive function.
A potential participant will undergo screening procedures to confirm eligibility to participate in the study, followed by randomization procedure to one of the study groups - treatment or sham (placebo) Patient will attend the clinic 5 times a week for 6 weeks, approximately an hour every day for treatment/sham. The patient will be required to return to the clinic for follow-up.
Up to 180 patients will be enrolled in up to 11 clinical sites in the Republic Korea.
3,678 studies on the registry are indexed under Alzheimer Disease; 872 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 180 is above the median of 70 across 2,808 interventional studies indexed under Alzheimer Disease.

CDR 1 or GDS 3.
※ For subjects who are excluded from screening based on criteria 5 or 6, if the investigator judges that the subject is likely to be eligible, one repeat screening may be performed.
Exclusion Criteria:
Patients who participated in other clinical trials 3 months before participating in this clinical trial.
※ Subjects who participate in non-interventional studies (such as observational studies) that do not affect the subject's disease or symptoms may be enrolled in the study.
Patients judged by the investigator to be unsuitable for participation in clinical trials for other reasons.
※ If the test subject is unable to visit according to the research plan due to unavoidable personal circumstances during the screening period, it will be treated as a screening dropout, and the patient can participate in the study after re-agreeing according to the future schedule.
Patients with a history of malignant tumors within the last 5 years.
- Participation is possible if more than 5 years have elapsed without recurrence after the decision to be cured (The point of complete removal of the tumor through surgery or the end of chemotherapy, etc.).
ATNC MDD-V1 treatment, synchronized TMS and cognitive training stimulation
Device: ATNC MDD-V1 (Real TMS + Real Cog) · Device: ATNC BN-V1 · Device: ATNC BN-V2
The Control arm subjects will receive daily treatments five days a week for 6 consecutive weeks of Sham treatment of TMS and real cognitive training which is similar to the real treatment in visit frequency and procedure.
Device: ATNC MDD-V1 (Sham TMS + Real Cog) · Device: ATNC BN-V1 · Device: ATNC BN-V2
Synchronized TMS and cognitive stimulation to 6 brain areas.
Also known as: ATNC MDD-V1, Brain Sense & Brain Cog
Sham device, has the same appearance and sound as the real device, combined with real cognitive exercises. Patients come for the same number of sessions, delivers no real stimulation or cognitive training.
