Community-based Cognitive Remediation and tDCS to Enhance Seniors' Function and Mental Health (NCT04648371)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Focusing on seniors with mental health conditions who are living in the community, this initiative proposes to assess the acute and long-term effects of an 8-week course of daily (5 days/week) cognitive remediation (CR) training among 270 participants living in five LOFT senior housing units. The acute course of CR will be followed by monthly one-week boosters until the end of this 5-year study, totaling approximately 24-60 months of follow-up. This trial will also be used as a platform to explore the ability to use transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to optimize response to CR by participant randomization to active versus sham tDCS. Our ultimate goal is to improve the lives of seniors experiencing mental illness and shape a future where they can live independently.
