Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to develop pilot data on the potential efficacy of computer-based cognitive training or the combination of computer-based cognitive training with transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in improving cognitive function in persons with HIV-related mild neurocognitive disorder (MND).

Primary Outcome

Participants' rate of improvement on a verbal working memory task. Participants completed a battery of cognitive measures administered by an evaluator blind to treatment assignment. We used the Digits Backward trial of the Digit Span subtest of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale Fourth Edition (WAIS-IV; Pearson Assessment) to measure working memory. We used raw scores for analyses. These are the largest number of digits the participant could remember and repeat in reverse order. Possible rang
