Association of Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation with Digital Cognitive Training for Cognitive Remediation in Older Adults
This trial combines two non-drug approaches — a brain-stimulation device called tACS, which delivers mild electrical currents to the scalp, and a computerized brain-training program called BrainHQ. Participants do five daily 30-minute sessions of both at the same time. The goal is to see if the combination is feasible, tolerable, and shows early signs of helping cognition in older adults with memory or thinking complaints. This is a Phase NA exploratory study — it is early-stage, not yet testing proven benefit.
