Key Words Mild cognitive impairment; Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation; Memory function; Cognitive function; Meningeal lymphatic system
Core Tip The treatment group demonstrated improved long-term memory performance, short-term memory performance, and cognitive function after treatment compared with baseline measurements, although no significant changes were observed in immediate memory performance. In contrast, the control group showed no statistically significant differences in any parameters before or after treatment. Further investigations are warranted regarding the mechanism of action of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation. Future studies should explore its functional effects on the meningeal lymphatic system to elucidate its underlying therapeutic mechanisms.
