Treatment of Memory Retrieval Impairments in MS With HDtDCS to the LIFG in a Placebo Controlled Trial (MS-LIFG-HDtDCS)
The purpose of the study is to test whether low-level electric stimulation, called High Definition transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (HDtDCS), on the part of the brain (i.e., left inferior frontal gyrus) thought to aid in memory will improve verbal retrieval in multiple sclerosis patients. The primary outcome measures are neuropsychological assessments of verbal retrieval, and the secondary measures are neuropsychological assessments of other cognitive abilities and electroencephalography (EEG) measures.
Aperçu de l'étude
Statut
Description détaillée
Using two treatment arms, the study will examine improvement of verbal retrieval and other cognitive deficits associated with multiple sclerosis by comparing (1) 1 milliamp of High Definition transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (HDtDCS) active treatment applied to left inferior frontal gyrus for 20 minutes over 10 sessions to (2) sham HDtDCS following the same schedule. Additionally, after completing the initial active or sham treatment and immediate and 2-month follow-up testing sessions, participants will complete a second set of 10 sessions where they will switch conditions (i.e., those who received active stimulation will be switched to sham, and vice versa), and the will be re-evaluated at immediate and 2-month follow-up testing sessions.
Patients with multiple sclerosis and observed cognitive deficits will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatment arms (and re-assigned for the second round of intervention, as described above). Primary outcome verbal retrieval measures, secondary neuropsychological and electroencephalography (EEG) measures, and prescreening assessments for study concussion history and contraindications for treatment will be collected prior to being assigned to a treatment arm (i.e., baseline).
Primary outcome verbal retrieval measures and secondary neuropsychological and electroencephalography (EEG) measures will be collected at baseline and two times following each treatment competition (i.e., immediate and 2-months).

La description
Inclusion Criteria:
- Participants must be between the ages of 18 and 64;
- Participants must have a diagnosis of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). A physician's note verifying RRMS will be required if they are a patient outside the UT Southwestern network;
- Participants must have a validated memory deficit: Validation will be done via neuropsychological testing at the initial/baseline visit using the Semantic Object Retrieval Test (SORT), COWAT (letter and category fluency), Boston Naming Test (BNT), and Auditory Verbal Learning Test (AVLT); neuropsychological test score on at least one verbal retrieval assessment (COWAT, BNT, AVLT) of a T-score less than 40 or a verbal retrieval test that was greater than 1.0 SD below the average T-score on SORT;
- Participants must be fluent in speaking and reading English because testing materials are not available in other languages.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Relapse or acute MS exacerbation during the two months (60 days) preceding the baseline testing, with re-evaluation for inclusion possible after the 60 days of stability;
- Less than 3 months (90 days) on a stable dose of benzodiazepines or modaphinil/armodafinil;
- A history of a neurological disorder, other than RRMS, including dementia of any type, epilepsy or other seizure disorders, brain tumor, present drug abuse, stroke, blood vessel abnormalities in the brain, Parkinson's disease, or - - Huntington's disease;
- Epilepsy or other seizure disorder;
- Severe traumatic brain injury;
- Unexplained episodes of loss of consciousness;
- Suffering frequent headaches;
- Unstable or uncontrolled psychiatric illness;
- Brain tumor;
- Serious or life-threatening diseases, including congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or active malignancy;
- Stroke;
- Head implant or skull defects/damage that would affect HDtDCS administration or EEG recording;
- Use of brain medical device;
- Cardiac, neural, or medication implants that would affect HDtDCS administration or EEG recording;
- Vascular clip;
- Scalp skin condition like dermatitis, psoriasis, or eczema;
- Current substance abuse, less than 1 year of discontinuation; Pregnancy;
- Cognitive impairment due to an issue other than RRMS;
- Telephone-administered Montreal Cognitive Assessment (TMoCA) Score <19, unless accompanied by a legally authorized representative (LAR) to the consenting session;
- Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) Score <23, unless accompanied by an LAR to all sessions and both the participant and LAR provide consent; Not being able to give informed consent, unless accompanied by an LAR to all sessions and both the participant and LAR provide consent, and with consent ability assessed with a set of comprehension questions regarding the study and consenting to participate and with MoCA criteria above;
- Medication Restrictions: Certain medications can temporarily change how your brain responds to electrical stimulation or affect EEG signals, and therefore are exclusionary: 1) Known medications that interact with tDCS efficacy: anti-convulsants, L-dopa, carbamazepine, sulpiride, pergolide, lorazepam, rivastigmine, dextromethorphan, D-cycloserine, flunarizine, ropinirole; 2) Medications that lower the seizure threshold; 3) Stimulant Medications (e.g., Adderall, Ritalin, often used for MS-related fatigue) cannot be taken during the course of the study; enrollment can be considered if the participant is willing to suspend use over the course of the study and suspension is coordinated with the prescribing physician); suspension must occur at least 3 days before any assessment session and must be maintained over the HDtDCS treatment phases of the study;
- Steroid Medications (e.g., Prednisone, Decadron, IV Solu-Medrol, often used for MS relapses or inflammation treatment); If a participant has taken prescription steroid pills or received a steroid IV, they must wait at least 2 months (60 days) after your last dose before you can start tDCS treatments, although baseline testing will permissible within this 2-month waiting period.

Expérimental: High Definition transcranial Direct Current Stimulation
High Definition transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (HDtDCS) will be delivered via a Neuroelectrics Starstim tES. Stimulation will consist of 1 milliamp stimulation, with anodal stimulation delivered at electrode F7 (International 10/10 System for electroencephalography electrode placement) and electrodes T7, FP, AF3, and FC5 as returns. All electrodes are 1 cm diameter Ag/AgCl electrodes and make contact with the scalp via saline connective gel. Stimulation will linearly ramp up from 0 milliamps to 1 milliamp over 60 seconds, then remain at 1 milliamp of stimulation over 20 minutes, and finally ramping down at to 0 milliamps over 60 seconds. |
