The Efficacy of Non-invasive Brain Stimulation (NIBS) on Cognitive Functions in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
Conditions: COPD, COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease), Cognitive Impairment (CI), Non-invasive Brain Stimulation
Sex: All
Ages: 18 Years – 70 Years
Healthy volunteers: No
Phase: NA
Enrollment: 22
Sponsor: Ministry of Health, Kuwait
Location: Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University Dammam
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to examine if non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) can enhance cognitive function with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) population. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* What is the possibility effect of using the NIBS on cognitive functions as well as the cardiopulmonary parameters in COPD population?
* What is the relation between cognitive function parameters and cardiopulmonary parameters in COPD population who suffer from cognitive impairment (CI)? Researchers will compare NIBS to a sham-NIBS to see if NIBS works to improve cognitive function in COPD population.
Participants will:
Receive NIBS or a sham-NIBS 3 sessions/week for 3 weeks for 20 min each session.
Visit the clinic at the beginning for baseline assessment then after the completion of the 3 weeks to reassess them.
Outcome measures for cognitive parameters and pulmonary parameters will be taken pre and post NIBS intervention
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
* Adult age from 18 years old to 70 years old.
* Patients with confirmed chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) via pulmonologist
* All stages of COPD severity will be included
* Stable patients, which means they were not admitted to the hospital in the last 3 months
* Patients with COPD with confirmed cognitive impairment by Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) test.
* All MoCA stages will be included.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Patients without COPD
* Unstable patients with several admission in the last 3 months
* Patients with COPD but without cognitive impairment.
* COPD patients who suffered from any neurological problems
* COPD patients who are contraindicated for using brain stimulation like psychiatric disorders.
