Which Interventions Can Treat Cognitive Fatigue?


 

Key clinical point : Only one intervention – transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) – has been found to counteract cognitive fatigability in a trial with objective outcome measures.

Major finding : Compared with sham stimulation, anodal tDCS increased P300 amplitude and reduced fatigue-related decrements in reaction time in a preliminary study.

Study details : A systematic review of intervention studies that objectively measured cognitive fatigability in adults with neurologic disorders.

Disclosures: The authors had no disclosures.
