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.
