NCT ID NCT06668610
First seen May 05, 2026 · Last updated Jun 18, 2026 · Updated 8 times
Summary
This study tests whether a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation technique (tDCS) combined with cognitive training can improve thinking skills and mood in people with mild cognitive impairment or early-stage dementia. Fifty participants will receive both real and placebo stimulation in two separate cycles, with memory, attention, and depression measured before and after each cycle. The goal is to see if this approach offers a safe, drug-free way to ease symptoms.
