Low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation is a type of transcranial magnetic stimulation technology. Based on its high safety characteristics, researchers currently apply this technology to treat Alzheimer's disease and have achieved certain results. This paper summarizes low-frequency transcranial magnetic stimulation and its research progress in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
