Effects of t-DCS and Cognitive Training on Apathy in Elderly With Minor Neurocognitive Impairment

Sponsor: Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nice

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation technique using a low intensity electric current to modify cortical excitability. Apathy is a pervasive neuropsychiatric symptom characterized by a reduction in goal-directed behavior and activity that persists over time and causes identifiable functional impairment. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of repeated sessions of tDCS combined with simultaneous cognitive training on apathy in older people with minor neurocognitive disorders.
