Improvement of memory for mild cognitive impairment with transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) performed by EEG and MRI: A randomized, two parallel group, double-blind study
Résumé de l'étude
The proposed study will systematically examine the feasibility and efficacy of tACS for elderly individuals with memory loss. This study will provide data to support the safety and efficacy of tACS. tACS will be applied repeatedly at home in this population. This may lead to future research to introduce tACS in the prevention and treatment of memory loss in elderly individuals who do not have the time to travel to a clinic due to disability or who live too far away.

Intervention étudiée
The study is randomized, controlled, with two parallel groups and double-blind. It includes 12 weeks of daily stimulation sessions at home. Participants with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) are randomly assigned to an active/real group or placebo/control group. We will measure the change in memory scores between baseline and follow-up at 1 and 3 months. Memory values are measured with various questionnaires and neuropsychological tasks.
