Treatments tested in this trial

  • Median nerve electrical stimulation treatment

    Other intervention

    Median nerve electrical stimulation is an electrical stimulation therapy in which the electrode is placed at the median nerve point 2cm above the carpal wrinkles on the palmar surface of the wrist joint. Generally, the right median nerve is used for electrical stimulation. Electrical stimulation improves cognitive function by stimulating neurons in the brain and improving information transmission between neurons. When electrical current stimulates the brain, it can increase the activity level of neurons and promote the signal transmission between neurons. Its mechanism of action includes the regulation of neurotransmitter acetylcholine, thereby enhancing cognitive function.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

to assess the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score

Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE): total score ranges from 0 to 30. Higher scores indicate better cognitive function.

Time frame
baseline,Day10,Day90

Secondary outcomes

1

to assess the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score

Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA): total score ranges from 0 to 30. Higher scores indicate better cognitive function.

Time frame
baseline,Day10,Day90
2

to assess the Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive (ADAS-cog) score

Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive Subscale (ADAS-cog): total score ranges from 0 to 70. Higher scores indicate worse cognitive performance.

Time frame
baseline,Day10,Day90
3

to assess the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD) score

Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD-24 item): total score ranges from 0 to 76. Higher scores indicate more severe depressive symptoms.

Time frame
baseline,Day10,Day90
4

to assess the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAMA) score

Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAMA): total score ranges from 0 to 56. Higher scores indicate more severe anxiety symptoms.

Time frame
baseline,Day10,Day90
