Comparison of Two Non-invasive Neuromodulation Techniques as Synergistic Therapy to Cognitive Stimulation in Amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment (aMCI)

"In the first phase each participant will receive 15 sessions of rTMS and 9 sessions of CS divided in 3 weeks, in the maintenance phase each participant will receive 1 session of rTMS and 1 session of CS per week for 12 weeks. Each session will consist of 10 trains of 10 stimuli, at a 5-Hz frequency and a stimulation intensity of 120% of the resting motor threshold.~rTMS will be administered by a MagPro R30 stimulator (MagVenture) and an active/placebo 8-shape coil model MCF-B70.~Two surface electrodes will be employed to replicate rTMS skin sensations near the stimulation site. The rTMS condition will be double-blinded through the use of a USB stick.~Cognitive stimulation will be a Mexican adaptation of the Memory Training and Cognitive Stimulation for Mild Cognitive Impairment from the Center for the Prevention of Cognitive Impairment of the Madrid City Council.~In total, each participant will receive 27 sessions of rTMS and 21 sessions of CS."

"In the first phase each participant will receive 15 sessions of rTMS Sham and 9 sessions of CS divided in 3 weeks, in the maintenance phase each participant will receive 1 session of Sham rTMS and 1 session of CS per week for 12 weeks.~In total, each participant will receive 27 sessions of Sham rTMS and 21 sessions of CS.~rTMS will be administered by a MagPro R30 stimulator (MagVenture) and an active/placebo 8-shape coil model MCF-B70.~Two surface electrodes will be employed to replicate rTMS skin sensations near the stimulation site. The sham condition will be double-blinded through the use of a USB stick.~Cognitive stimulation will be a Mexican adaptation of the Memory Training and Cognitive Stimulation for Mild Cognitive Impairment from the Center for the Prevention of Cognitive Impairment of the Madrid City Council.~In total, each participant will receive 27 sessions of rTMS and 21 sessions of CS."

"In the first phase each participant will receive 15 sessions of tDCS and 9 sessions of CS divided in 3 weeks, in the maintenance phase each participant will receive 1 session of tDCS and 1 session of CS per week for 12 weeks. Each session will consist of the delivery of a weak direct current of 2mA for 30 minutes.~tDCS will be administered by the Sooma tDCS stimulator. The tDCS condition will be double-blinded, and a third operator will program the stimulator.~Cognitive stimulation will be a Mexican adaptation of the Memory Training and Cognitive Stimulation for Mild Cognitive Impairment from the Center for the Prevention of Cognitive Impairment of the Madrid City Council.~In total, each participant will receive 27 sessions of tCDS and 21 sessions of CS."
