A recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Toronto explored interventions to prevent cognitive decline and dementia in high-risk populations, such as those with remitted Major Depressive Disorder (rMDD) or Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). The study, called PACt-MD, was a double-blind randomized trial that compared cognitive remediation (CR) plus transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) to a sham treatment. The results showed that CR+tDCS may be effective in slowing cognitive decline, particularly in verbal memory, in older patients with rMDD or MCI. Further research is needed to fully understand the potential of this intervention. [Extracted from the article] |
