There are no pharmacological interventions that delay or prevent the transition of mild cognitive impairment to dementia. Several studies have shown that transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) could be useful in increasing cognitive traits in dementia.
As TMS is performed in a clinical setting, transportation, mobility and high costs of treatment, limit the number of TMS sessions dementia patients can receive. Most of the trials do not apply more than 20 TMS sessions
Here, a randomized, sham controlled, paralallel group, clinical trial will be performed in order to asess the efficacy at improving cognitive traits of a novel TMS device that uses high frequency and low intensity pulses. As the device is portable and can be used from home without clinical supervision, the stimulation will be applied two times per day for a period of 6 months.

Experimental: Real High Frequency Low Intensity TMS
Two sessions of transcranial magnetic stimulation each day for 6 monts. The coil of the device emits a pulsed magnetic field at an aproximate frequency of 125 hz and an intensity of 10 gauss.
