Randomized controlled trial shows enhanced cognitive function and quality of life in older adults with dementia, indicating the effectiveness of cognitive stimulation.
Key Points
The iCS group showed significant improvements in cognitive performance, mood, and functional independence over the control group.
Participants in the iCS group notably enhanced attention, calculation, and delayed recall on cognitive tests.
The intervention involved 47 weekly sessions of individualized cognitive stimulation over a year for older adults with mild dementia.
Cognitive stimulation may serve as a viable non-pharmacological approach for supporting older adults' cognitive and emotional health.
