Implication

Randomized controlled trial investigates tDCS effects on cognition in older adults with mild cognitive impairment, suggesting potential benefits for dementia prevention.

Key Points

This project aims to evaluate the effects of tDCS on cognitive functions in older adults with mild cognitive impairment.
Conduct a randomized controlled trial with 48 older adults with mild cognitive impairment.
Assign participants to experimental or control groups in a 1:1 ratio, blinded to treatment.
Administer 8 sessions of tDCS intervention over 4 weeks and assess cognition pre- and post-intervention and at follow-up.
Anticipate improvements in cognitive assessment scores, including memory and executive function.
Investigate sustainability of cognitive enhancements post-intervention.
Expect to gather EEG data to supplement cognitive performance assessments.
