A Pilot Study of tDCS for Mild to Moderate Alzhemier's Disease

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The primary objective of this preliminary study is to investigate whether the transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) improves the cognitive function in patients with Alzheimer's disease

Clinical Trial Description

Twenty patients were recruited and randomized to receive either real or sham-tDCS over the left (anode) and right (cathode) dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC). Their legally responsible caregivers were provided with mobile tDCS device, and were instructed to use it on the patients at home. 30-minute session of the stimulation were applied everyday in the morning for 12 weeks. The patients were evaluated at baseline, at week 6 and 12. ;
