Objectives
To study the effect of anodal transcranial direct stimulation (atDCS) of the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) on cognitive function and side effects in patients with mild cognitive impairment. Design Experimental double-blind randomized, sham-controlled trial. Setting Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital Participants Volunteers (N=45) with mild cognitive impairment. Interventions Not applicable. Main Outcome Measures The atDCS group (n=23) were stimulated at 2 mA for 20 minutes with the anode on the right DLPFC and the cathode on the left supraorbital area. The control group (n=22) received placebo stimulation. Baseline cognitive function was assessed using the Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery test. Participants were treated 3 times per week for 4 weeks (12 sessions). Cognitive function and side effects were assessed immediately after the first stimulation, the last session, and 4 weeks after treatment. Results Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery results revealed a significant improvement in the accuracy of the visual sustained attention (VSA) in the atDCS group at all 3 time points, the spatial working memory and visual memory (VM) immediately after the first stimulation, and a decreased VM reaction time after 12 sessions. A long-lasting effect on VSA and VM were found 4 weeks after treatment. Conclusions Anodal tDCS over the right DLPFC enhanced the VSA, spatial working memory, and VM accuracy after the first stimulation and reduced the reaction time of VM after 12 sessions. A long-lasting effect on VSA and VM was found 4 weeks after treatment. This study corroborated atDCS as a safe technique to improve cognitive function. |
