New brain zapping combo aims to calm Alzheimer's agitation

This pilot study tests a combination of two non-invasive brain stimulation methods (iTBS and tDCS) in 20 veterans with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease who also have mood swings, apathy, or agitation. Participants will receive one week of in-clinic iTBS sessions followed by four weeks of daily at-home tDCS. The goal is to see if this approach is practical and well-tolerated, and whether it shows promise for easing neuropsychiatric symptoms, paving the way for a larger study.
