Summary

This pilot study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS can reduce psychotic-like symptoms (like hallucinations and agitation) in people with Lewy Body Dementia. Thirty participants will receive either real or sham stimulation over two weeks. Researchers will also measure whether the treatment eases the burden on caregivers. The goal is to find a safe, drug-free way to manage troubling symptoms.
