The Effects of Specific tDCS on Cognition in MCI

Exploring tDCS effects on thinking in mild cognitive impairment.

Recruiting
45-80 years
All
Phase N/A
This study explores how **transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS)** affects thinking skills in people with **mild cognitive impairment (MCI)**, which is a stage before more serious memory problems. tDCS is a gentle brain stimulation technique thought to help brain function. The study will involve 120 participants aged 45-80, who will be divided into groups to receive different types of tDCS or a fake treatment called a sham. - **Study Duration**: Participants will have 10 sessions over 14 days. - **Tests**: Various tests and brain scans (fMRI and EEG) will track changes in brain activity and memory. - **Eligibility**: Participants must be able to read and write, be between 45-80, and have MCI or Parkinson's with MCI. This study could help find better ways to maintain memory and thinking abilities as people age. Participants will be monitored at the start, after 14 days, and again after 90 days to see the long-term effects of the treatment.

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.
