Summary

This small study tested a type of brain stimulation called theta-burst stimulation in 17 people with suspected non-Alzheimer dementia. The goal was to see if it could improve thinking and memory, and to understand how it works in the brain. The study was a pilot, meaning it was a first step to see if larger studies are possible.
