First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to find the best dose of a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called accelerated TMS to improve both depression and thinking skills in people aged 60-85 with mild cognitive impairment and depression. About 60 participants will receive different doses of TMS, and researchers will measure changes in mood and cognitive function. The goal is to gather data needed to design larger trials that could eventually help prevent dementia.
