Effects of an individual cognitive stimulation intervention on global cognition, memory, and executive function in older adults with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease.
Objective: To determine the efficacy of a 12-week individual cognitive stimulation (iCS) intervention on global cognition, memory, and executive function of older adults with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease (AD).
Method: Protocolized analysis using data from a multicenter, single-blind, randomized, parallel two-arm RCT of iCS for older adults with probable AD. A sample of 142 people with probable Alzheimer's disease attending 13 Portuguese institutions providing care and support services for older adults were selected. Intervention group (n = 72) received 24 iCS sessions, twice a week for 12 weeks. Control group (n = 70) maintained their activities as usual. Outcomes included global cognitive function (Mini-Mental State Examination, and Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive Subscale), memory (Memory Alteration Test, and Free and Cued Selective Reminding Test), and executive functioning (Frontal Assessment Battery). All participants were assessed at baseline (T0), after the intervention (T1), and 12 weeks follow-up (T2).
Results: The results showed significant improvements in memory performance at follow-up for the intervention group and greater stability in global cognition in the intervention relative to the control group.
Conclusion: The current iCS protocol shows effectiveness in cognitive functioning in older adults with probable AD, particularly for memory upon completion of the intervention and at follow-up, adding further support to previous iCS studies showing similar results and to the effectiveness of the current intervention.
期刊介绍:
The Clinical Neuropsychologist (TCN) serves as the premier forum for (1) state-of-the-art clinically-relevant scientific research, (2) in-depth professional discussions of matters germane to evidence-based practice, and (3) clinical case studies in neuropsychology. Of particular interest are papers that can make definitive statements about a given topic (thereby having implications for the standards of clinical practice) and those with the potential to expand today’s clinical frontiers. Research on all age groups, and on both clinical and normal populations, is considered.
