Clinical Trial Summary

This non-pharmacological interventional feasibility study evaluate a computerized cognitive stimulation program in elderly with mild cognitive impairment.

Description:

Involvement in social and leisure activities has been associated with a decreased risk of dementia in the elderly with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). MCI is a crucial phase to prevent the worsening of cognitive decline in elderly at risk to develop dementia. These last years, the use of computerized training programs to enhance cognitive functioning showed positive and promising results. However, the effects on psychosocial factors still poorly documented in cognitive interventions in MCI. It seems essential to promote these factors involving social ties, group dynamic, the motivation, as factors that can contribute to enhance social life and cognitive functioning.

This feasibility study evaluated a computer-based cognitive stimulation in elderly with MCI and explore the effects on cognitive and psychosocial components.

Intervention

Behavioral:
• Computerized Cognitive Stimulation
The intervention group performed 12-week, 90-minutes per week of cognitive stimulation in group using a tablet with a commercial software with specific exercises to train the cognitive functioning and promote the relation ties in group-session.The program's difficulty level was adjusted to the MMSE score, and was gradually increased.
• Multimedia-based internet
The active control group had access to different Multimedia contents (travel, photos, music, TV program, cooking recipes) using a tablet, 90-minutes per week each week during 3-months. Each group session was centered in a particular topic, participants were able to select different media free available in Internet.
