Noninvasive Brain Stimulation in Mild Cognitive Impairment and Dementia
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Active Transcranial direct current stimulation (STARStim 8) and Sham Transcranial direct current stimulation (STARStim 8) for Alzheimer Disease and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 33 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The research objective of this study is to examine the efficacy of HD-tDCS to the preSMA/DACC region and its influence on verbal episodic memory in patients with MCI or dementia after 10 sessions of HD-tDCS. There will be three treatment arms: two active HD-tDCS (1 mA or 2 mA) and a sham group. A verbal episodic memory task will be completed at baseline, immediately following the last HD-tDCS session, and a 2-month follow-up.
