Implications of a longitudinal cognitive intervention program in mild Alzheimer’s disease
The implications of a longitudinal (5 years) intervention program in a mild Alzheimer’s disease (mAD) patient targeting mainly the language deficits were investigated. The program had 2 parts: the intensive one included training strategies and tasks that enhanced his impairments (memory, naming, comprehension), and the second one (the next 4 years), without guidelines or teaching. […]

A randomized cross-over controlled study on cognitive rehabilitation of instrumental activities of daily living in alzheimer disease
Objective: The goal of the study was to investigate the effectiveness of a memory rehabilitation program to re-learn instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs) in patients with Alzheimer disease (AD). Design: This was a 6-month block-randomized cross-over controlled study. Setting: All evaluation and training sessions were performed at each patient’s home. Participants: Twenty participants with […]

Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST): effects on different areas of cognitive function for people with dementia
Background: There is good evidence indicating that group Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST) leads to generalised cognitive benefits for people with dementia. However, little is known about whether some aspects of cognition might change more than others and why.; Methods: Cognitive Stimulation Therapy, a 14-session group treatment, has been evaluated in a multi-centre, single-blind, randomised controlled […]

Cognitive rehabilitation multi-family group intervention for individuals with mild cognitive impairment and their care-partners
There is increasing need for early, pro-active programs that can delay dementia diagnosis and enhance well-being of individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and their care-partners (i.e., care-dyads). This randomized controlled trial evaluated the efficacy of a combined cognitive rehabilitation and multi-family group treatment (CR-MFG) that was designed to facilitate adoption of newly learned cognitive […]

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation combined with cognitive training is a safe and effective modality for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease: a randomized, double-blind study
Cortical excitability can be modulated using repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS). Previously, we showed that rTMS combined with cognitive training (rTMS-COG) has positive results in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The goal of this randomized double-blind, controlled study was to examine the safety and efficacy of rTMS-COG in AD. Fifteen AD patients received 1-h daily rTMS-COG or […]

A home programme for patients with cognitive dysfunction: a pilot study
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of a 12-week individualized home programme of rehabilitation for patients with cognitive impairment.; Methods: Six patients with cognitive dysfunction, after haemorrhagic stroke, participated in this study. A programme was carried out in the home environment that consisted of four mixed training programmes: cognitive remediation therapy, story retelling, cognitive enhancing games […]

Maintenance cognitive stimulation therapy for dementia: Single-blind, multicentre, pragmatic randomised controlled trial
Background: There is good evidence for the benefits of short-term cognitive stimulation therapy for dementia but little is known about possible long-term effects. Aims: To evaluate the effectiveness of maintenance cognitive stimulation therapy (CST) for people with dementia in a single-blind, pragmatic randomised controlled trial including a substudy with participants taking acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChEIs). Method: […]

Cognitive output of a neuropsychological stimulation program in an elderly day care center with low educated participants: An observational study
Objective: In the present paper we present an observational study of the implementation of a Neuropsychological Stimulation Program at an Elderly Day Care Center in low-educated participants with very similar backgrounds concerning social economic status. Methods: The implemented program tackled several dimensions, including daily orientation sessions, cognitive stimulation sessions twice a week, followed by movement […]

A direct comparison of errorless and errorful therapy for object name relearning in Alzheimer’s disease
Developing rehabilitation techniques to combat cognitive decline is a key goal of healthcare strategies aimed at promoting increased longevity and better quality of life for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In AD, problems with episodic memory and word-finding greatly affect everyday life and, as such, these symptoms provide a clear clinical target for therapeutic interventions. […]

Cognitive-motor intervention in Alzheimer’s disease: Long-term results from the Maria Wolff trial
Background: Little is known about the long-term acceptance and effects of cognitive and motor stimulation interventions (CMSI) in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Objective: To evaluate a replicable CMSI program for mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and mild-to-moderate AD persons. Methods: Eighty-four non-institutionalized subjects with AD were randomized to receive either CMSI, administered by a single care provider, […]
