Clinical Trial Summary

This is a double-blind, randomized, sham-controlled clinical trial that aim to verify the safety and the efficacy of anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on cognitive and motor symptoms in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) over the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC).


Clinical Trial Description

Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) is a rapidly progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by deposition of tau and motor, cognitive and behavioral symptoms. Since no effective treatment is available, non-invasive brain stimulation techniques, such as tDCS, could be a valid complementary therapeutic approach. The tDCS modulates the spontaneous activity of the neural network by applying a direct current flow on the cortical brain areas (anodic or cathodic stimulation). Despite its efficacy in psychiatric disorders, the therapeutic use of tDCS in neurodegenerative diseases requires more systematic studies. The aim of this study is to verify the safety and efficacy of tDCS in PSP on motor, cognitive and behavioral symptoms. ;
