Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation in Frontotemporal Dementia
This study tests whether a single one-hour session of gentle electrical stimulation through the scalp, called beta tACS, is safe and changes short-term thinking and brain activity in people with frontotemporal dementia. Everyone gets a real session and a sham session a week apart. It has no phase label, so it is an early-stage device study, not proof it works.
You may qualify if
- Male or female subjects aged over 40 years at the time of signing the informed consent form;
- Presence of a clinical diagnosis of Frontotemporal Dementia according to clinical criteria (Rascovsky et al., 2011; Gorno-Tempini et al., 2011).
You're excluded if
- Age younger than that stated in the inclusion criterion;
- Inability to understand;
- Contraindications for tACS and TMS: cardiac pacemaker carriers and metal implants that are not compatible with electric or magnetic fields, history of epilepsy, current pregnancy (Safety Questionnaire)
