A Study of HD-tDCS and Cognitive Training to Improve Cognitive Function in MCI
March 20, 2024 updated by: Elias Granadillo Deluque, Medical College of Wisconsin
A Randomized, Double-Blinded, Placebo Controlled Pilot Trial of the Feasibility of High Definition Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation and Cognitive Training in Patients With Mild Cognitive Impairment.
The primary objective of this project is to assess the feasibility of multi-field, extended HD-tDCS (MFE-HD-tDCS) with simultaneous computerized CT as a viable intervention to improve cognitive function in patients with MCI.
This double-blinded, randomized pilot clinical trial of repetitive daily HD-tDCS/sham HD-tDCS, administered in combination with CT to subjects with MCI in 3 monthly blocks of 5 daily sessions for a total of 15 sessions will enroll 8 participants.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Active Comparator: HD-tDCS combined with CT
HD-tDCS combined with CT, administered to participants with amnestic MCI (aMCI) in blocks of 5 daily treatments for a total of 15 sessions.
There will be one treatment block/month for a total of 3 months
|
HD-tDCS treatments will be administered during a cognitive training session.
|
Sham Comparator: sham HD-tDCS combined with CT
sham HD-tDCS combined with CT, administered to participants with amnestic MCI (aMCI) in blocks of 5 daily treatments for a total of 15 sessions.
There will be one treatment block/month for a total of 3 months
|
sham-HD-tDCS treatments will be administered during a cognitive training session.

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Treatment completion rates
Time Frame: 6 months
|
This pilot study would prove the feasibility of the proposed approach.
Treatment completion rates of less than 75% could be reasonably excluded if all 8 patients are observed to complete the 6 month treatment.

Recruitment rate
Time Frame: 3 months

Recruiting and consenting 8 patients over a period of 3 months would support the feasibility of conducting a larger-scale, 2-site, phase II trial with 120 MCI patients over a span of 5 years (i.e.
approximately 32 patients/year
