First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study explores whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (dTMS) is safe and tolerable for older adults with mild memory or thinking problems. Thirty participants aged 60-90 will receive one of three types of dTMS coils. Researchers will track side effects, thinking skills, brain activity, and mood to gather data for a future larger trial.
