First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 18, 2026 · Updated 31 times
Summary
This pilot study tests whether combining two non-invasive brain stimulation methods—iTBS and tDCS—can safely ease neuropsychiatric symptoms like mood swings, apathy, and agitation in people with Alzheimer's disease. Twenty veterans aged 60-85 with mild to moderate Alzheimer's will receive one week of in-clinic iTBS followed by four weeks of at-home tDCS. The goal is to see if the treatment is practical and well-tolerated, and to gather early signs of symptom improvement to guide a larger future study.
