Treatments tested in this trial
Median nerve electrical stimulation treatment
Other interventionMedian 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.

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
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.
Secondary outcomes
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.
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.
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.
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.
