Treatment of Memory Disorders in Gulf War Illness with High-Definition Transcranial Direct Cortical Stimulation

Abstract

The present study consists of the application of 1 ma anodal HD tDCS over the preSMA for 20 minutes a session for 10 sessions over a two week period will lead to improvement in verbal retrieval that will be detectable in both performance measures of verbal retrieval tasks and in ERP markers of verbal retrieval processing. Our objective is to determine if 10 sessions of 1 ma anodal HD tDCS to the preSMA for 20 minutes a session are an effective treatment for verbal retrieval deficits in GWI. We have established the research team, laboratory setting, obtained approval of all regulatory documents for the study, and established recruiting procedures. We have screened 14 subjects for the study and enrolled 3 subjects in the baseline testing and treatment phase of the study.
