Association of Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation with Digital Cognitive Training for Cognitive Remediation in Older Adults

Exploring brain stimulation and digital training for improving memory in seniors.

All
Phase N/A

This study looks at ways to help older adults who have trouble with their memory or thinking. We use two methods: Digital Cognitive Training (DCT), which is like brain games on a computer, and Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation (tACS), which involves a gentle electrical current to the brain. Participants will do 5 sessions, each lasting 30 minutes. During these sessions, they will use the BrainHQ platform while receiving tACS, which targets a specific part of the brain linked to thinking skills.

Key Points:

  • The study involves 5 daily sessions, each 30 minutes long.
  • Participants must be over 50 years old with memory complaints.
  • Certain conditions like severe psychiatric issues or using a pacemaker disqualify participation.

This study aims to see if these methods can safely and effectively improve memory and thinking. Researchers also want to understand how these treatments work in the brain. Participants should not have severe health issues like seizures or use devices that might interfere with the study.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
