Venkatesh and colleagues (2025) explore the use of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) for Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), presenting it as a promising intervention amidst the limited efficacy of pharmacological treatments. This commentary critically examines DBS’s ethical and clinical limitations for MCI and argues for prioritizing safer, evidence-supported interventions such as transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and theta-burst stimulation (TBS).

Abstract
Venkatesh and colleagues (2025) explore the use of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) for Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), presenting it as a promising intervention amidst the limited efficacy of pharmacological treatments. This commentary critically examines DBS’s ethical and clinical limitations for MCI and argues for prioritizing safer, evidence-supported interventions such as transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and theta-burst stimulation (TBS).
