First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 30 times
Summary
This pilot study tests a combination of two non-invasive brain stimulation methods—iTBS and tDCS—in 20 older veterans with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease who also have mood or behavior symptoms like agitation or apathy. Participants will receive one week of in-clinic iTBS sessions followed by four weeks of daily at-home tDCS sessions. The goal is to see if this approach is practical and well-tolerated, and whether it shows promise for easing neuropsychiatric symptoms, which could lead to a larger study.
