Main problem

Method

Result

First

Mental behavior disorder and reducing cognitive function

1 Hz bilateral DLPFC 86%MT, 1075 total pulses, 30 stimulation, 25 s stimulation times, 3 s interval

BPSD (delusion, auditory hallucinations, agitation) and cognitive function improved,

Prolonged sleep

Second

Prolonged sleep and reducing cognitive function

10 Hz left DLPFC 80%MT, 795 total pulses,15 stimulation, 1.5 s stimulation times, 12 s interval

1 Hz right DLPFC, 80%MT, 800 total pulses, 25 stimulation, 25 s stimulation times, 3 s interval

BPSD and cognitive function improved,

Sleep time become normal

Epileptic attack

Third

Epileptic seizure

0.8 Hz right DLPFC, 80%MT, 800 total pulses, 25 stimulation, 31.25 s stimulation times, 3 s interval

BPSD and cognitive function improved,

Epilepsy has not occurred
