Study Summary

The investigators will conduct a randomized, double-blinded, sham-controlled trial of approximately 60 patients with minor stroke and post-stroke mild cognitive impairment (psMCI). Participants will be individually randomized on enrollment using a random number generator to treatment with anodal tDCS + computerized cognitive treatment (CCT) versus sham + CCT (approximately 30 patients in each arm). Clinical evaluation including assessment of cognition will be performed pre- and post-intervention by individuals on the study team blinded to the participant's intervention. Participants will also undergo functional neuroimaging with magnetoencephalography (MEG) pre- and post-intervention (1, 3, and 6 months post-stroke to evaluate for initial and longer-term effects of treatment on cerebral activation patterns and functional connectivity). Neuroimaging and clinical outcomes will be assessed to determine the effect of tDCS versus sham + CCT on psMCI.

Primary Outcome

Our cognitive battery was designed to efficiently evaluate for psMCI. It combines the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, Grooved Pegboard, Hopkins Verbal Learning Test, Brief Visuospatial Memory Test, Delis-Kaplan Executive Function System, and Symbol Digit Modalities Test. T scores are averaged across tasks and calculated for the following cognitive domains: verbal memory, spatial memory, processing speed, motor speed, executive function, and global cognition.
