  • Feasibility of iTBS-tDCS treatment in ADRD patientsFrom enrollment until the end of treatment at 5 weeks

    The feasibility of providing sequential iTBS-tDCS treatment to ADRD patients with neuropsychiatric symptoms is a primary focus. Feasibility will be assessed mainly through rates of by recruitment, retention and adherence. Recruitment rate is the number of enrolled patients divided by the total number of patients who initially approached the study or had interest in it. Retention rate is the percentage of patients who complete the entire study out of the initial enrolled participants, and then adherence rate is the number of completed iTBS and tDCS sessions divided by the total prescribed treatment sessions. Since feasibility is being evaluated as the primary aim instead of efficacy, there is no randomization or probability of group assignment. Each and every subject will undergo the same treatment stimulation process, as they will all have 1 week of in-clinic iTBS sessions and then four weeks of at-home tDCS sessions.

  • Tolerability of iTBS-tDCS treatment in ADRD patientsFrom enrollment until the end of treatment at 5 weeks

    The tolerability of providing sequential iTBS-tDCS treatment to ADRD patients with neuropsychiatric symptoms. Tolerability will be evaluated based on the frequency and severity of adverse events reported during the intervention period. These findings will inform the design and implementation of a larger clinical trial.
