CORDIAL: cognitive rehabilitation and cognitive-behavioral treatment for early dementia in Alzheimer disease: a multicenter, randomized, controlled trial

Cognitive rehabilitation (CR) is a promising treatment approach for older adults with dementia because it aims at supporting the management of day-to-day problems. There is insufficient evidence regarding whether CR provides clinically meaningful benefits. In this study, we evaluated the feasibility, acceptance, efficacy, and usefulness of a CR intervention in a multicenter, randomized, controlled trial […]

Goal-oriented cognitive rehabilitation in early-stage dementia: study protocol for a multi-centre single-blind randomised controlled trial (GREAT)

Background: Preliminary evidence suggests that goal-oriented cognitive rehabilitation (CR) may be a clinically effective intervention for people with early-stage Alzheimer’s disease, vascular or mixed dementia and their carers. This study aims to establish whether CR is a clinically effective and cost-effective intervention for people with early-stage dementia and their carers.; Methods/design: In this multi-centre, single-blind […]

Results of the open multicenter prospective study of safety and tolerability of rivastigmine (exelon) in different titration regimes in mild and moderate Alzheimer’s disease

Treatment with cholinesterase inhibitors can cause tolerability-related problems in many patients. To facilitate the titration process, rivastigmine, a novel form of the drug (solution), has been elaborated. An objective of the study was to compare efficacy, safety and tolerability of rivastigmine (exelon) used in conventional capsules and/or solution and to assess adherence to this drug […]
