Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility of comprehensive multimodal individually tailored Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Rehabilitation Therapy (CRT), and modifiable lifestyle sessions.

The study team hypothesizes that combining evidence-based cognitive and affective therapies with lifestyle modifications is feasible and will improve the community integration (CI) and Quality of life (QoL) in patients with a neurocognitive disorder compared to usual care.

CRT plus CBT and Lifestyle modifications

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

CRT

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Participants that score 1-1.5 standard deviation (SD) below the norm for age and education on 2 cognitive domains will receive an intensive program, 2 CRT sessions per week for 4 weeks in addition to 1 CBT session per week for 8 weeks. Based on clinical experience, those with more severe cognitive deficits require more time to achieve their therapy goals, whereas those with mild deficits can tolerate a more intense therapy.

Participants that score 1.5-2 SD or more below the norm for age and education on 2 cognitive domains will receive 1 CRT and 1 CBT weekly sessions for 8 weeks. All the CRT sessions will be coupled with homework for 8 weeks.

All research-related sessions will be web-based (on Zoom) and recorded (with approval).

CBT

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Participants that score 1-1.5 standard deviation (SD) below the norm for age and education on 2 cognitive domains will receive an intensive program, 2 CRT sessions per week for 4 weeks in addition to 1 CBT session per week for 8 weeks. Based on clinical experience, those with more severe cognitive deficits require more time to achieve their therapy goals, whereas those with mild deficits can tolerate a more intense therapy.

Participants that score 1.5-2 SD or more below the norm for age and education on 2 cognitive domains will receive 1 CRT and 1 CBT weekly sessions for 8 weeks. All the CRT sessions will be coupled with homework for 8 weeks.

All research-related sessions will be web-based (on Zoom) and recorded (with approval).

Modifiable lifestyle factors

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The therapy sessions are coupled with homework and requires some lifestyle modifications such lifestyle adjustments are using a calendar, a diary, maintaining a sleep schedule and exercise.

Usual care

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Usual care Psychoeducation

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Participants will receive 15 minute psychoeducation session twice per week for 8 weeks.

All research-related sessions will be web-based (on Zoom) and recorded (with approval).
