Résumé

Transcranial pulse stimulation (TPS) is a novel technology with therapeutic promise for Alzheimer's disease. Given its novelty and the rapidly evolving research in neurology and mental health using this technology, large randomised controlled trials are expected. Therefore, an independent and up-to-date synthesis of the available evidence is needed. In our effort to create a living systematic review of the clinical efficacy of TPS across various conditions, we aim to describe its methodology to ensure its transparency and scientific rigour. This protocol details the predefined methods related to search frequencies, updates to the review and quantitative synthesis.
