Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

There are currently no disease-modifying treatments for cognitive and behavioral symptoms associated with early clinical Alzheimer's disease (AD), and only minimally effective symptomatic treatments are available. In this application, we propose a transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) augmented executive functioning training intervention. This intervention will target cognition and brain circuits that are impaired in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and early AD. The goal is to improve cognitive performance and functional outcomes in patients with MCI and early AD.
