Neurophysiological and Behavioral Study of the Cognitive Deficits Associated With Cerebral Small Vessel Disease in the SHIVA Cohort. SHIVA-CogNeurophys
Sponsor: University Hospital, Bordeaux
Summary
Cerebral small vessel disease (cSVD) is characterized by an alteration of the structure and function of small penetrating brain arteries. Highly prevalent in older individuals from the general population, it represents a leading cause of stroke and a major contributor to cognitive decline and risk of dementia. Better detection and management of covert cSVD would have a major impact on preventing disability and costs related to stroke, cognitive impairment and dementia. The aim of the present study is to identify novel electroencephalographic (EEG) biomarkers of the cognitive deficits associated with cSVD, and how these biomarkers and cognitive performance are affected by personalized cognitive training or transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS), a non-invasvie brain stimulation technique.

Interventions
Home-based cognitive training
All interventions will be carried out for both groups of participants, with either minimal or extensive cSVD. Upon enrollment, each participant will undergo two hospital visits (visit 1 at day 0, visit 2 at day 7), followed by a home-based cognitive training across 10 days (days 15-24), two more hospital visits (visit 3 at day 26, visit 4 at day 33), and finally a follow-up cognitive testing at home after 6 months.
