Visuospatial neglect (VN) frequently occurs in Posterior Cortical Atrophy (PCA) and requires specific rehabilitation. In this single-case study, we investigated the efficacy of a computer-assisted cognitive training (CCT) alone or coupled with multiple sessions of anodal transcranial direct-current stimulation (A-tDCS) over the right posterior parietal cortex in improving left VN symptoms in a patient with PCA. The digital ReMoVES platform was used for both VN assessment and training. We found a significant improvement after CCT combined with A-tDCS within the limits of a single-case, our results suggest, for the first time, the usefulness of this combined approach in a neurodegenerative disorder.
视觉空间忽略（VN）在后部皮质萎缩（PCA）中经常发生，需要特定的康复治疗。在这项单病例研究中，我们研究了计算机辅助认知训练（CCT）单独或与多个右侧顶后区经颅直流电刺激（A-tDCS）联合应用对改善 PCA 患者左 VN 症状的疗效。数字 ReMoVES 平台用于 VN 评估和训练。我们在单病例范围内发现 CCT 联合 A-tDCS 后有显著改善，我们的结果首次表明，这种联合方法在神经退行性疾病中的有效性。
