To date, pharmacological treatments to reduce Alzheimer's disease symptoms have obtained poor results and there is a growing interest in finding non-pharmacological treatments for this impactful disease. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation is a non-invasive tool which can induce changes in brain activity and long term modifications of impaired neural networks, and therefore holds promise as a clinical intervention.\n\nOur overall goal is to study the benefit of targeting Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation based on the individual's unique functional connectivity (personalized targeting) instead of current non-individualized approaches. Specifically, the intermittent Theta Burst protocol will be used and changes in cognitive, functional, and emotional deficits in these patients will be evaluated. Functional brain connectivity changes induced by the TMS treatment will be also assessed.\n\nMethods: A double blind randomized controlled trial will be conducted to assess the effects of TMS treatment immediately, one month, three months and six months after the end of the treatment in comparison to the baseline measurements. Forty-five patients with a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease, will be randomly allocated (1:1:1) into experimental (active Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation), sham control group, or conventional intervention control group. Neuropsychological, functional, and emotional assessment will be conducted, as well as functional connectivity measures, in order to assess the effectiveness of the treatment.\n\nDiscussion: The investigators expect to demonstrate that personalized Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation intervention has measurable positive impact in cognitive and emotional functioning, functionality, and brain connectivity, thus representing a potential treatment for Alzheimer's disease.",[28],"Alzheimer Disease",[30,31,32,33,34,35],"Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation","Non invasive brain stimulation","Theta Burst Protocol","Brain connectivity","Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex","Parietal cortex","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2026-07-20",{"date":39,"type":40},"2026-07-21","ACTUAL",{"date":42,"type":22},"2027-11",{"date":44,"type":22},"2029-12",{"name":46,"class":47},"Universitat Oberta de Catalunya","OTHER",{"id":49,"slug":50,"hasResults":11,"nctId":51,"briefTitle":52,"officialTitle":53,"acronym":54,"eligibilityCriteria":55,"healthyVolunteers":56,"sex":17,"minAge":57,"maxAge":58,"enrollmentInfo":59,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":23,"phases":61,"briefSummary":62,"conditions":63,"keywords":68,"overallStatus":36,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":75,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":76,"startDateStruct":78,"completionDateStruct":80,"leadSponsor":81,"locationsCount":4},"100580641","a-virtual-reality-couples-intervention-for-sexual-victimization-prevention-a-gender-swapping-transformative-approach-100580641","NCT06839937","A Virtual Reality Couples' Intervention for Sexual Victimization Prevention: a Gender-swapping Transformative Approach","A Virtual Reality Couples' Intervention for Sexual Victimization Prevention: a Gender-swapping Transformative Approach (REVISE)","REVISE","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Participants must be between 18 and 39 years old.\n* Couples must have been in a romantic relationship for at least six months.\n* Both partners must provide explicit informed consent to participate.\n* Participants must be able to read and write in Spanish to ensure comprehension of the study materials.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Individuals with any physical condition that may hinder the use of VR equipment (e.g., epilepsy or severe motion sickness).\n* Individuals with a history of sexual harassment or problematic substance use, including drug or alcohol abuse.\n* Individuals experiencing significant mental health difficulties that require intensive treatment.\n* Participants with prior exposure to similar VR-based gender perspective-taking interventions.",true,"18 Years","39 Years",{"count":60,"type":22},180,[25],"The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of REVISE (REalidad Virtual Inmersiva y SExualidad), an immersive virtual reality (IVR) intervention designed to promote empathy and reduce sexual harassment behaviors in heterosexual cisgender men.\n\nThe main questions that this study aims to answer are as follows.\n\nDoes experiencing gender swapping in IVR increase empathy towards survivors of sexual harassment?\n\nDoes the intervention modify attitudes toward gender roles and sexual harassment?\n\nResearchers will compare the three experimental groups to evaluate the effects of IVR:\n\n1.
