Objectives

Narrative objectives1

Depression is a quite frequent neuropsychiatric symptom among Alzheimer's disease patients though randomized controlled trials of antidepressants have failed to show their effectiveness and may have increased risk of adverse events.
We focus on transcranial direct current stimulation as a novel potential treatment for depression in Alzheimer's disease and this trial will investigate its efficacy, safety and tolerability.
