๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

This is a randomized clinical trial of a treatment that combines non-invasive brain stimulation with computerized cognitive training (CCT) for people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). The form of brain stimulation used in this study is accelerated intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS). All participants receive the same amount of iTBS and are randomly assigned to engage in one of two types of CCT. The goals of the study are to see if this combined treatment is feasible and acceptable to people with MCI and whether combined iTBS and CCT improves memory, thinking skills, mood, and daily function.
