Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

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.

Computerized cognitive stimulation

Computerized Cognitive Stimulation was administered to intervention group (IG).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Computerized Cognitive Stimulation

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

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 activities

Multimedia-based internet activities was administered to active control group (ACG).

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Multimedia-based internet

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

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.
