The objective of this study is to conduct a pilot, randomized sham-controlled trials to determine the feasibility and effects of a 10-session personalized tDCS intervention targeting the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex on cognitive function, dual task standing and walking, and other metrics of mobility in 24 older adults with mild AD living in supportive housing.
NCT06451978
Background: Nature positively affects people living with dementia. However, there are a lack of nature-based interventions for people living with mild cognitive impairment or dementia who reside in the community. Aim: This study is testing a caregiver-led nature-based intervention, which has been co-developed with people living with dementia, supporters/caregivers and professionals, and the study design and set-up will also be evaluated. The results will help provide evidence for whether or not to carry out a larger study in the future and will also contribute to the evidence of nature-based interventions for people living with mild cognitive impairment or dementia. Methods: People from the NHS and charities with a diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment or dementia, and their supporters/caregivers (this pair of participants are called a 'dyad') will be approached. The PhD researcher and dyads will meet to discuss the information sheet, answer any questions, then if they'd like to take part, dyads will each complete a consent form and questionnaire asking about demographics, mental health, and service use. A computer will then randomly assign the dyads into the intervention group or waitlist-control group (who will receive the intervention at the end of the study). Supporters/caregivers in the intervention group will attend a one-off online training session on how to use the manual. The intervention involves 8 weekly sessions of nature-based activities, including a session evaluation sheet to complete for each session. The PhD researcher will call the supporters/caregivers twice during the intervention to check in. At the end of the intervention, dyads will complete another questionnaire each, and then those in the waitlist-control group will have the opportunity to take part in the intervention. There is also an optional interview that dyads can take part in to talk about their experience of the intervention and the study set-up.
