tDCS combined with cognitive training for improving memory in people with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI)

Currently, no effective intervention exists for people at increased risk for dementia. While recent reviews have highlighted promising results for cognitive training (CT), randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in people diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) have shown modest efficacy for memory improvement. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a safe, non-invasive technique, which can enhance cognitive functioning.
