Warmth and Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) in Improving Cognitive Functions in People with Dementia

"A hat device will offer the electrical stimulation (pulse width of 120 milliseconds at about 100 Hz with constant current 0.02mA-0.7 mA, intensity setting at sensory threshold) over 4 acupuncture points over the scalp, including Baihui (GV20), Sishencong (EX-HN1), Fengchi (GB20) and Shenting (GV24). Selection of acupuncture points has been based on the recommendation of traditional Chinese medicine.~A custom-built warmth pad surrounding the TENS electrodes could produce the controlled comfortable warmth sensation, with default setting at 37degrees to 40 degrees Celsius."

A custom-built warmth pad surrounding the TENS electrodes could produce the controlled comfortable warmth sensation, with default setting at 37degrees to 40 degrees Celsius. The TENS electrodes are presented in the cap but no output will be delivered via these electrodes.
