Efficacy of a Therapuetic Program for Memory/Neuropsychological Deficits in a Mild Cognitive Decline/Dementia Population - Neurology & Neuroscience 

 

This  is  an  ongoing  study  using  a  population  of  adults  who  have  been  evaluated  and  diagnosed  with  mild  cognitive  decline/dementia.  Adults  ranging  in  age  from  34  to  90  years  old,  with  more  of  the  population  falling  within  the  range  of  60  to  80  years, were  typically  referred  for  evaluation  by  their  primary  care  physician  or  treating  specialist  (neurologist  or  cardiologist).  They participated in a treatment program completed in an outpatient therapeutic setting employing the use of a specific individualized neurocognitive training program. Patients received cognitive behavioral therapy as well as neurocognitive training in the context of  a  therapy  session  twice  per  week.  The  program  consists  of  game  like  activities  that  are  individually  designed  based  upon  the  neuropsychological evaluation results. Patients are re-evaluated within six months to a year, the program is changed to accommodate the results of re-evaluation. This is an ongoing study published last in May of 2018 [1].
