Network-targeted Theta-burst Stimulation for Episodic Memory Improvement in Mild Cognitive Impairment


Sponsor

University of California, Los Angeles

Enrollment

70 participants

Start Date

Jan 26, 2021

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The purpose of this study is to see if stimulation of the brain can improve memory. The investigators will use a device called transcranial magnetic stimulation that can stimulate and activate a specific part of the brain that is important for memory. The study will enroll MCI subjects and subjects with subjective memory complaints who will be randomly assigned to receive active or sham brain stimulation. 'Blinded' or 'sham-controlled' means that the subject will not know whether the treatment they receive is the active treatment or the non-active stimulation. In the 'sham' condition, the stimulator will turn on but will not actually be stimulating the target brain region.

Interventions

DEVICEActive Theta Burst Stimulation

Theta burst transcranial magnetic stimulation (TBS) will be delivered at 80-100% of motor threshold (MT).

DEVICESham Theta Burst Stimulation

Sham stimulation will be delivered at 0-10% of motor threshold (MT), with all other parameters matching the active TBS condition.
