Summary
This early-phase study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called rTMS can reduce heavy drinking and improve thinking skills in older adults (ages 60-85) who have both alcohol use disorder and mild cognitive impairment. Researchers will measure changes in drinking habits, memory tests, and brain scans. The goal is to see if this approach can safely address both problems at once.
