“…In recent decades, the main treatments focusing on biologics and the use of various drugs are psychosocial interventions. Also, a great deal of interest has been shown in non-pharmacological interventions, which include a combination of psychotherapy, environment therapy, family learning groups, patient education programs, and cognitive interventions (Manzine & Pavarini, 2009).…”

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of cognitive rehabilitation on information processing and academic performance of dyslexic students. This research was a quasi-experimental clinical trial with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The research population consisted of all dyslexic students referring to the Omid Educational and Rehabilitation Center, Arak in 2017. Methods: The available sampling method was done and all students at the center participated in the research, of whom 30 students were selected and randomly assigned to two experimental and control groups. The research tools were Pham and Taylor educational performance test and Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test (PASAT). The experimental group received 12 sessions of cognitive rehabilitation. The results were analyzed using the Multivariate Analysis of Covariance (MANCOVA). Results: The results of MANCOVA showed that cognitive rehabilitation was effective in dyslexic students’ data processing (P≤0.05), but it had no significant effect on their academic performance (P≥0.05). Conclusion: Considering the cognitive rehabilitation problems of these children can be effective in expediting their learning.

Alzheimer's disease considerably compromises communication skills. Language changes become more prominent as the disease progresses. Deterioration of language and cognition reduces the ability of holding conversations, which has a negative impact on social interaction.OBJECTIVE:To conduct a systematic review of the literature for articles reporting interventions focused on the language and communication of people with Alzheimer's disease (AD) without use of medication.METHODS:We performed a search using the keywords Alzheimer's disease, language, communication, cognition, cognitive intervention, rehabilitation and therapy, and their corresponding Portuguese and Spanish terms, on the SciELO, LILACS, PubMed and PsychINFO databases. We analyzed intervention studies published from 1993 to 2016 that involved stimulation of language skills and/or communication with pre-and post-intervention quantitative results, and whose samples included at least 50% with a diagnosis of probable AD. Studies were analyzed and classified into four levels of evidence, according to the criteria described in the literature.RESULTS:Twenty-eight articles were included. The majority of the designs had medium-to-low scientific evidence. Most interventions showed benefits for at least one language or communicative skill. Eight types of interventions emerged from the analysis of the studies. Further research with higher levels of evidence is recommended in the investigation of interventions focused on language and communication skills of patients with dementia.CONCLUSION:Studies with high levels of evidence on the topic investigated are only being conducted on a small scale. Two intervention techniques seem potentially effective: lexical-semantic approaches and interventions that work with different cognitive skills (including language).

“…In a literature review about cognitive rehabilitation, Manzine & Pavarine14 found that, in most of the studies reviewed, cognitive rehabilitation can provide more benefit for the patient’s rehabilitation when combined with other interventions, such as pharmacological treatment. Provided that both treatment modalities are aligned and optimized, the synergistic therapeutic effects become evident.…”

Despite recent advances in cognitive rehabilitation of patients with cognitive disorders, there are many major obstacles to the optimized global use of this therapeutic resource.Objective:The authors outline the concept of ‘therapeutic synergism’, i.e. the concurrent use of pharmacological and cognitive rehabilitation therapies to maximize functional benefits, addressing the optimization of therapeutic approaches for cognitive disorders.Methods:Three psychopharmacological and rehabilitation interrelationship paradigms are presented in three different clinical settings.Results:Paradigm 1: Behavioral and cognitive symptoms that hinder a cognitive rehabilitation program, but can be improved with psychopharmacology. Paradigm 2: Cognitive symptoms that hinder cognitive rehabilitation, but can be improved with anticholinesterases. Paradigm 3: Behavioral symptoms that hamper the use of cognitive rehabilitation, but can be improved by psychotropic drugs.Conclusion:Judicious use of psychotropic drugs in cognitive disorders can benefit, directly or indirectly, cognitive functions, thereby favoring other treatment modalities for cognitive impairment, such as neuropsychological rehabilitation.
