First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 06, 2026 · Updated 24 times
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. About 35 participants will receive the stimulation and be monitored for changes in drinking behavior, cognitive test scores, and brain activity.
