认知补救干预测试其对老年护理接受者的功能结果与诊断的阿尔茨海默氏型痴呆症的影响。对78名社区居住护理接受者进行了认知和行为功能评估，并随机分配到三种情况之一。与安慰剂（被动）活动或等待列表控制条件相比，预期护理受试者从主动认知刺激训练中获益最多。在每周一次的指导会议之后，由家庭照顾者在家中进行干预。实验组的护理接受者在治疗后认知和行为表现有所改善，但在第9个月时恢复到以前的功能水平。相比之下，对照组下降，而安慰剂组在这些变量上保持不变。这些发现支持了痴呆症补救干预的可行性，尽管认知能力下降的轨迹。
A cognitive remediation intervention was tested for its effect on functional outcomes of older care recipients with the diagnosis of dementia of the Alzbeimer's type. The 78 community-dwelling care recipients were assessed on cognitive and behavioral functioning and randomly assigned to one of three conditions. Care recipients were expected to benefit most from active cognitive stimulation training as compared to placebo (passive) activity or wait-list control conditions. Following each weekly instruction session, the intervention was executed in the home by the family caregiver. Care recipients in the experimental group improved in cognitive and behavioral performance with treatment, but returned to former level of functioning by the 9th month. In contrast, the control group declined, while the placebo group remained static on these variables. These findings support the viability of remediation interventions in dementia despite the trajectory of cognitive decline.
