Summary
This early-phase study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called accelerated rTMS can help older adults (ages 60-85) who have both alcohol use disorder and mild cognitive impairment. The goal is to see if the treatment can reduce heavy drinking and improve thinking skills at the same time. Researchers will measure changes in cognitive test scores, drinking habits, and brain scans over the study period.
