IRCT20180317039116N1 IRCT 2018-05-10 University of social welfare and rehabilitation sciences effects of tDCS on cognitive functions Comparison of the Effectiveness of tDCS with conventional occupational Therapy in Improving cognitive functions in Patients with schizophrenia. 2018-04-17 anticipated 15 Complete https://irct.ir/trial/30313 interventional Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Single blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: by using a coin, Blinding description: To eliminate the difference in the sense of initiating electrical stimulation between the groups, the control group will only receive electrical stimulation in the first 30 seconds. N/A Schizophrenia. Intervention 1: Intervention group: In this study, tDCS device will be used to stimulate cortex. The intervention will consist of 6 sessions, each lasting for 20 minutes. The anode electrode will be placed on F3 region, the left DLPFC, based on an international system of 10-20 EEGs, and the cathode electrode will be placed on the supraorbital area on the opposite side. An electrical stimulation of 2 mAh through the surface of anodic electrode impregnated with a physiologic serum solution, will be applied on F3 cortex. The stimulation was delivered every other day, and all patients perform visual memory tasks during the stimulation. At each session, all participants spend 20 minutes on 3 Tasks of visual memory while receiving brain stimulation.The first task is to remember the order of the cards, then find the cards that their places has changed. The second task is to memorize the cards and then name the deleted cards, and the third task is to remember the cards and then name them all perfectly. Intervention 2: Control group: In this study, tDCS device will be used to stimulate cortex. The intervention will consist of 6 sessions, each lasting for 20 minutes. The anode electrode will be placed on F3 region, the left DLPFC, based on an international system of 10-20 EEGs, and the cathode electrode will be placed on the supraorbital area on the opposite side. At the beginning of the sessions, an electrical stimulation with 2 mAh current would be applied to the F3 cortex for 30 seconds. Patients will not be informed about the interruption of the stimulation.The stimulation was delivered every other day. At each session, all participants spend 20 minutes on 3 Tasks of visual memory while receiving sham stimulation.The first task is to remember the order of the cards, then find the cards that their places have changed. The second task is to memorize the cards and then name the deleted cards, and the third task is to remember the cards and then name them all perfectly.
