Sponsor's own description

Currently, the main treatment method for Alzheimer's disease (AD) is chemotherapy. However, the effectiveness of drugs is moderate and there are several side effects. In this clinical trial, the investigators would like to activate the brain by the transcranial ultrasound stimulation (TUS). This is a feasibility study to evaluate the safety and initial effectiveness of TUS for the treatment of patients with mild AD.
