The Effects of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation in Mild Cognitive Impairment

20. februar 2018 opdateret af: Kenneth N. K. Fong, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University

The Neural Effects of Multisession Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation in Older Adults at Risk for Mild Cognitive Impairment and Its Impact in Cognitive Functions and Everyday Memory: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Objectives: 1) To examine whether the real transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) group would perform better in the cognitive training (CT) intervention than the sham tDCS group and the CT group; 2) To determine if, as a consequence of the stimulation generated by the use of tDCS, there would be a transfer effect to other cognitive domains and to cognitive tasks in activities of daily living; 3) To investigate the time and spatial responses of tDCS on the brain cortex during and after tDCS application.

Hypothesis to be tested: By applying anodal tDCS with the combination of a CT delivered via the use of tablet PCs in older adults at risk of MCI, it will enhance their cognitive task performance in CT and subsequently generalize to other cognitive domains as well, involving a transferability to cognitive tasks in activities of daily living.

Design and subjects: A multi-centered single-blinded randomized controlled trial (RCT) with three groups (CT alone/Sham tDCS with the combination of a CT/ Real tDCS coupling with CT) The participants who will take part of this study will be older adults at risk of MCI Study instruments: tDCS, Ipad, Neuron Up CT Apps, EEG. Interventions: The intervention will last for 9 sessions (3 sessions per week for 3 weeks). Sham tDCS and real tDCS, will be combined with the same CT which is used in the CT group. During the experimental intervention, anodal tDCS will be placed on left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and cathodal tDCS on the contralateral deltoid muscle with the combination of a CT. During the experimental intervention, anodal tDCS will be placed on left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and cathodal tDCS on the contralateral deltoid muscle with the combination of a CT.

Main outcome measures: Cognitive assessments, CT performance, EEG. In addition, delta and theta frequency suppression and alpha increment power under the anode electrode will be observed.

Hvad måler undersøgelsen?

Primære resultatmål

Resultatmål
Foranstaltningsbeskrivelse
Tidsramme
Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA)
Tidsramme: 10 minutes
It is a 30-point test about several cognitive domains (visuospatial/executive, naming, memory, attention, language, abstraction, delayed recall and orientation) and a screening tool used of MCI and dementia.
10 minutes
Digit Span Test
Tidsramme: 10 minutes
The test measures short term memory in such a way that sequences of digits are presented and have to be recalled in forward and reverse order. Testing ends when the maximal list length is reached or when subjects fail to recall the trial at one sequence length.
10 minutes
Trial Making Test (TMT)
Tidsramme: 5 minutes
TMT encompasses visual attention and processing speed, it consists of 2 parts in which a set of 25 dots in the first part and 24 dots in the second part have to be accurately connected. Time performance is measured as the main outcome
