Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Treatment With Alzheimer's Disease Patients

An open label pilot study in mild to moderate AD/ADRD patients to assess the effects of treatment with ECHS AD/ADRD pulsed electromagnetic treatment device on disease progression. Enrolled patients will receive active devices. They will treat themselves at home three times a day for 15 minutes over 120 days. Primary end point is the The Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive Subscale. Participants will be followed-up for 9 months post-treatment.


Eligibility Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:

1. Age ≥ 50 years 2.2. Patients diagnosed with mild to moderate AD/ADRD including Alzheimer's disease, Lewy body dementia, and Vascular dementia - defined as a global CDR of 0.5 or 1 at baseline.

Capable of providing consent or having a surrogate (e.g., spouse, family member) capable of providing consent if participant lacks consent capacity 7. Able and willing to comply with the protocol 8. If the participant is receiving a cholinesterase inhibitor and/or memantine, such medication has been prescribed for at least 3 months prior to screening and the dose is stable for at least 60 days prior to screening (that dose needs to be maintained throughout the period of this study) 10. Physical clearance for study participation as evaluated by the clinician

3. History of epileptic seizures or epilepsy
4. Has Parkinson's Disease
5. Has Frontotemporal Dementia
6. Currently taking medication that lowers the seizure threshold, excluding blood thinners
7. Is currently taking anti-amyloid monoclonal antibodies (past treatment is allowed if termination of treatment occurred at least 3 months prior to the baseline visit).
