{ "Up-2 Study: Cognitively Engaging Walking Exercise and Neuromodulation for Older Adults", "This study is looking at whether combining special walking exercises with a type of brain stimulation can help older adults who are experiencing some memory or thinking problems and difficulty with movement. The study will test if a non-invasive electrical brain stimulation called Prefrontal Active tDCS (transcranial direct current stimulation) is more helpful than a \"sham\" (inactive) version of the stimulation. All participants will do walking exercises that involve complex tasks like stepping over obstacles. Researchers will measure changes in walking speed during obstacle tasks and scores on tests of executive function (a type of thinking skill) to see if the interventions are effective. You might be able to join if you are 65 or older and have experienced some decline in your thinking abilities.", "design": "This interventional study plans to enroll up to 120 older adults. It will compare Prefrontal Active tDCS with Prefrontal Sham tDCS, both combined with walking exercise.", "commitments": "You would participate in 18 sessions over a 6-week period, with each session including 30 minutes of walking and 20 minutes of tDCS. Assessments will be done at the beginning, after the 6-week intervention, and 12 weeks later.", "compensation": "Not stated in the trial record.", "follow_up": "Participants will be followed for about 12 weeks after the intervention period ends.", }
