Cathodal Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) in Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI): A Randomized, Double-Blind, Sham-Controlled Pilot Study

Mayo Clinic·interventional·Posted May 11, 2018·Updated Mar 25, 2020

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Soterix Medical 1x1 Low Intensity Transcranial Electrical Stimulator (tES) Model 2001 for Mild Cognitive Impairment and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 16 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

This study evaluates the application of non-invasive brain stimulation in the treatment of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) in adults aged 55-85. Half of the participants will receive transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), while the other half will receive sham (like placebo) stimulation.

Interventions

Soterix Medical 1x1 Low Intensity Transcranial Electrical Stimulator (tES) Model 2001device

Transcranial direct current stimulation works by sending constant, low direct current through the electrodes. When these electrodes are placed in the region of interest, the current induces intracerebral current flow. This current flow then either increases or decreases the neuronal excitability in the specific area being stimulated based on which type of stimulation is being used. This change of neuronal excitability leads to alteration of brain function, which can be used in various therapies as well as to provide more information about the functioning of the human brain.
