First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests if a fast form of brain stimulation (accelerated dTMS) combined with memory exercises can improve thinking skills in older adults with mild memory issues. About 30 people aged 55-85 with mild cognitive impairment or memory concerns will receive either real or fake stimulation over 5 days, followed by 6 weeks of cognitive training. The goal is to see if the treatment is safe and can boost memory and executive function.
