What this study is about
This trial is testing a home-based device that uses transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to improve mood in people with Alzheimer's Disease. The researchers hope to learn if 30 minute sessions of tDCS can help improve feelings and emotions in individuals with Alzheimer's. It involves the use of an investigational device called a tDC stimulator, which has not yet been approved by the FDA for treating Alzheimer's Disease.
