Phase N/A

It consists of a randomized, triple-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial. The AETCC must be associated with the Tcog. Patients diagnosed in mild to moderate AD will be randomized into four groups: G1, aETCC before TCog; G2, aETCC during TCog; G3 aETCC after TCog and G4: simulated aETCC during TCog. Groups G1, G2 and G3 will receive the active current, while G4 will receive the simulated current. In each condition, an initial baseline assessment (T0) will be performed after 12 sessions (T1) and three weeks after the end of interventions (T2). The outcomes evaluated will be: cognition, executive function, functionality, neuropsychiatric symptoms and occupational performance. For all analyzes, SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences - SPSS Inc, Chicago IL, USA) for Windows, Version 20.0, will be used and considered as significant, an alpha value of 5% (p <0.05 ).

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?
