Efficacy of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation In Parkinson's Disease MCI (PDMCIStim)
Efficacy of Prefrontal Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation On Cognitive Functions and Electrophysiological Measures In Parkinson's Disease Mild Cognitive Impairment
調査の概要
詳細な説明
Parkinson's Disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder. The period that apparent cognitive deficits exist without disrupting daily life activities is named as Mild Cognitive Impairment (PD-MCI). Treatments were considered to be more efficacious in PD-MCI than PD dementia as relatively less permanent changes in cortical structures occured. No approved treatments exist in PD-MCI and non-pharmacological treatments are under investigation as drugs have considerable amount of adverse effects.
Event Related Potentials (ERP) measurements have the advantages of providing direct and objective evidence of central nervous system functions, imaging of the activity of the cortical areas and being unaffected by motor deficits. ERP parameters were found to be related to cognitive functions and disrupted in PD and PD-MCI. Thus, ERP parameters were suggested to be useful in treatment efficacy assessment.
Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) is a promising non-invasive brain stimulation method. Ameliorating effects of tDCS on cognition and ERPs were observed. Enhancing effects of tDCS on some cognitive deficits were also reported in PD.
Few studies reported the efficacy of both tDCS and physical therapy/cognitive training and none assessed the efficacy of tDCS solely, compared to a sham control group. All studies assessed the efficacy without using electrophysiological measurements that reflect central nervous system functions directly. In this project, the efficacy of tDCS will be compared to a sham tDCS group and be assessed with electrophysiological measurements for the first time.
The study is a double-blind randomized controlled trial. The sample will be consisted of twenty six participants diagnosed as having PD-MCI due to Movement Disorders Society Level 2 criteria. The participants will be assigned to active or sham groups. Then, neuropsychological test performances and ERP parameters during Oddball paradigm and Continuous Performance Test will be measured. Then, participants will be applied ten active or sham sessions of left anodal/right cathodal tDCS over the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC). All measurements will be repeated both immediately and 1-month after the applications.
Succinctly, the aim of this project is to assess the effect of ten sessions left anodal/right cathodal tDCS over the DLPFC on cognitive functions and electrophysiological parameters in PD-MCI.

Changes in response conflict in the Stroop Test during the study period
時間枠：Up to one month
|
The stroop effect consists of the semantic and the response conflict.
Response conflict (time in milliseconds) is obtained by subtracting the semantic conflict (time in milliseconds obtained in the second step of the protocol) from the stroop effect (time in milliseconds obtained in the first step of the protocol).
Minimum time difference is 0 and maximum time difference is 100 milliseconds.
Lower time differences indicate better performance and higher time differences indicate worse performance.

Change in the verbal fluency performance during the study period
時間枠：Up to one month
|
Verbal fluency is a test that measure multiple domains of cognition such as executive functions and language functions.
Letter Verbal Fluency assesses the number of words beginning with certain letters that participants can generate within 60 seconds, the Category Verbal Fluency assesses the number of words within particular categories participants can generate within 60 seconds.
Minimum score is 0 and maximum score is 80. Lower scores indicate worse performance and higher scores indicate better performance.
