Alzheimer Disease Clinical Trial
Official title:
Noninvasive Brain Stimulation in Mild Cognitive Impairment and Dementia
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.

Primary | Change in Score on the Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT) | The RAVLT is a verbal episodic memory task where a list of 15 words is read aloud for 5 consecutive trials followed by a 20 minute delayed recall trial. The number of items recalled immediately after each trial are summed to create a total learning score, ranging from 0-75. Also, the number of items recalled for the delayed trial are recorded as a delayed recall score, ranging from 0-15. Higher scores reflect better episodic memory performance. Changes from baseline for the total learning and delayed recall scores at the last HD-tDCS session and the 2-month follow-up will be measured as the primary outcomes. | Baseline, immediately following last treatment session, and 2-months post treatment |
