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

Abstract

The 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. The treatment is hypothesized to lead to improvement in verbal retrieval, 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 an established research team, laboratory setting, and procedures, and have maintained regulatory approval. We have screened 89 subjects for the study and enrolled (consented) 33 subjects. Twenty-two subjects have completed treatment.
