Efficacy of cognitive intervention programs in amnesic mild cognitive impairment: A systematic review
Resumen: Background:: Amnesic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) is considered a prodromal stage of Alzheimer''s disease. Given the absence of an effective pharmacological treatment for aMCI, increasing numbers of studies are attempting to understand how cognitive interventions could benefit aMCI patients. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the current evidence regarding the efficacy on cognition of cognitive intervention programs in older adults with aMCI.
Methods:: We searched for randomized controlled trials and clinical trials published until March 2020 on PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, SCOPUS, and OTseeker. A total of 454 works were identified and 7 studies that met the inclusion criteria, were included in this review. PRISMA guidelines were followed and PEDro scale was included for the measurement of the quality of the selected studies.
Results:: Cognitive interventions showed positive effects on cognition. Cognitive training programs considerably enhanced the Mini Mental State Examination scores. However, no relevant differences in global cognition were found using other assessment tools as DRS-2 or ADAS-Cog Scale. Cognitive training and cognitive rehabilitation programs seemed to improve several cognitive domains as memory, language or executive function in aMCI patients in both post-training and at follow-up analysis.
Conclusions:: Our findings support that cognitive interventions can be an effective option for people with aMCI. Cognitive interventions improved global cognitive function post-intervention, but also seemed to enhance some cognitive domains post-intervention and at follow-up. However, more studies are needed to analyze the potential benefits of cognitive intervention on aMCI.
