NCT03325205
Brief Summary:
The purpose of the study is to investigate the effect of High Density- tDCS (HD- tDCS) on cognitive function in Alzheimer's Disease. One anode and four return electrodes are placed over DLPFC, where low intensity current (2mA) is induced to the surface of the scalp. Electrode placement is individualized for each participant. Participants will undergo 15 stimulations, with a duration of 20 minutes each. All patients will undergo neuropsychological assessment and MRI evaluation.
Detailed Description:
The project will be run as a Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT), where patients will be randomized to receive either active anodal tDCS or sham tDCS. The performance on neuropsychological tests will be the primary outcome variables in the present project. In addition, whole brain MRI volume measures will be used to measure specific effects of tDCS treatment. Electrode placement is individualized for each participant with brain modeling techniques.
