A systematic review of treatments for alcohol-related cognitive impairment: lessons from the past and gaps for future interventions

Cognitive Training Effectiveness on Memory, Executive Functioning, and Processing Speed in Individuals With Substance Use Disorders: A Systematic Review

“…After this analysis, 24 studies were excluded (see Supplementary Material) and 26 studies met all inclusion criteria. Of the 26 studies included, 25 are controlled randomized clinical studies Yohman et al, 1988;Wetzig and Hardin, 1990;Fals-Stewart and Lucente, 1994;Steingass et al, 1994;Peterson et al, 2002;Goldstein et al, 2005;Fals-Stewart and Lam, 2010;Rupp et al, 2012;Gamito et al, 2013Gamito et al, , 2014Gamito et al, , 2016Gamito et al, , 2017Eack et al, 2015;Rass et al, 2015;Bell et al, 2016Bell et al, , 2017Hendershot et al, 2018;Zhu et al, 2018;Khemiri et al, 2019;Rezapour et al, 2019) and one is quasi-experimental (Hannon et al, 1989). The PRISMA guidelines were used to conduct this systematic literature review.…”

“…The studies were published between 1985 and 2019, with two studies published in 2019 (Khemiri et al, 2019;Rezapour et al, 2019), three in 2018 (Gunn et al, 2018;Hendershot et al, 2018;Zhu et al, 2018), three in 2017 (Bell et al, 2017;Brooks et al, 2017;Gamito et al, 2017), three in 2016 (Bell et al, 2016;Brooks et al, 2016;Gamito et al, 2016), two in 2015 (Eack et al, 2015;Rass et al, 2015), two in 1994(Fals-Stewart and Lucente, 1994Steingass et al, 1994), and two others in 1985 . The remaining studies were published respectively in Gamito et al (2013Gamito et al ( , 2014, Rupp et al (2012), Fals-Stewart andLam (2010), Goldstein et al (2005), Peterson et al (2002), Wetzig and Hardin (1990), Hannon et al (1989), and Yohman et al (1988).…”
