The Short-term Effects of Noninvasive Electrical Brain Stimulation on Dual Tasking in Older Adults

maanantai 14. maaliskuuta 2022 päivittänyt: Brad Manor, Hebrew SeniorLife

Optimization of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) for Dual Task Performance in Older Adults With and Without a History of Falls

The tDCS & Dual Tasking study will compare the effects of transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) targeting three different cortical regions (as well as sham stimulation) on dual task standing and walking in older adults with and without a recent history of recurrent falls.

Yksityiskohtainen kuvaus

The ability to stand and walk safely, especially while performing additional cognitive tasks like talking, reading or decision making, is critical to the preservation of functional independence into old age. Such "dual tasking" often impairs balance, even in healthy older adults and those with greater dual task "costs" are more likely to suffer future falls. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a safe, noninvasive and inexpensive means of modulating activity across cortical networks. A single, 20-minute session of tDCS facilitates brain activity for up to 24 hours. Through Dr. Manor's previous research in healthy older adults, he has discovered that just 20 minutes of tDCS targeting the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC)-a region involved in both cognitive and motor function-immediately reduces the dual task costs to balance when standing and walking, and improves performance in the timed up-and-go (TUG) test of mobility. However, there are several brain networks with known involvement in balance control and dual tasking, and the optimal brain region to target to improve dual task capacity has not been established. The proposed study will be a double-blinded, sham-controlled study in which older adults both with and without a history of falling undergo dual task assessments immediately before and after single, 20-minute sessions of tDCS designed to target several different brain regions with known involvement in dual tasking and the maintenance of balance.

  • Montreal Cognitive Assessment score <18, or insufficient understanding of study procedures following review of the Informed Consent Form. Understanding will be assessed by asking the participant to answer the following three questions: 1) What is the purpose of this study? 2) What are the risks of study involvement? 3) If you decide to participate, are you allowed to withdraw from the study at any time? Answers will be recorded by study personnel on the "Assessment of Protocol Understanding" form (see attached). Insufficient understanding will be defined by one or more incorrect answers, as determined at the discretion of the investigator.

Aseet ja interventiot

Osallistujaryhmä / Arm
Interventio / Hoito
Huijausvertailija: Sham Stimulation
The Sham stimulation intervention will consist of one, twenty-minute session of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) that does not target a cortical area but instead, provides just enough current to create tingling sensations across the scalp to mimic the feeling of receiving the real stimulation. The sham stimulation will use the same number and placement of electrodes as the real stimulation but with a much smaller total current intensity of 0.5 milliamps (mA).
Muut: transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS)
There will be three different tDCS targets as well as a sham stimulation condition. The stimulation for each of these conditions will be delivered via 6 already-placed gel electrodes on the participant's scalp with different combinations of current intensities among all the electrodes.
Kokeellinen: M1 Stimulation
The M1 stimulation intervention consists of one, twenty-minute session of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) targeting the primary motor cortex at a total current intensity of 1.5 mA.
Muut: transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS)
There will be three different tDCS targets as well as a sham stimulation condition. The stimulation for each of these conditions will be delivered via 6 already-placed gel electrodes on the participant's scalp with different combinations of current intensities among all the electrodes.
