- A new training and supervision program was developed for older adults to receive Transcranial Electrical Stimulation (tES) in their homes, reducing the need to travel to clinics and laboratories for treatment.
- Published in Neuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface, the program aims to teach caregivers, family members, and patients how to administer home-based tES safely and effectively.
- Over 350 sessions across two pilot clinical trials targeting older adults showed high feasibility and effectiveness of the training program, with participants successfully completing the program and reporting high satisfaction levels.
- The program offers a comprehensive curriculum, remote hands-on practices, ongoing supervision and monitoring, and on-demand assistance, ensuring safe and effective administration of home-based tES.
- The study’s findings suggest that the home-based tES training program is effective and well-received, with potential to increase accessibility to tES treatments for diverse populations and accelerate tES intervention discoveries.
