Clinical Trial Summary

Cognitive intervention for people with subjective cognitive complaints can be categorized into cognitive training, cognitive rehabilitation, psychoeducation, lifestyle intervention, etc. Literature have suggested multicomponent cognitive interventions can have better outcomes. However, studies to support this proposition are still limited. Few studies have also examined the influences of cognitive intervention on functional performance. This study was to examine the effectiveness of a multicomponent cognitive intervention for community-dwelling elderly with subjective cognitive complaints.
