SUMMARY

This study aimed to investigate the feasibility of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on the occipital lobe in patients with Lewy body dementia. This is a proof-of-concept study to evaluate the safety and effect of occipital lobe stimulation in patients with Lewy body dementia. Over a period of two weeks, participants will receive rTMS to the primary visual cortex three times a week during visits. For the remaining 10 weeks, maintenance therapy will be administered with rTMS once a week during visits. Efficacy assessments will be conducted on the day of the final stimulation session and again four weeks later.
