“…In fact, the second best ES was achieved by Li and Li (2017) with a participant group that was 82% moderate to severe dementia in a nursing home. Arkin (2007) found that most early stage participants tended to improve or maintain on test scores, but occasionally a person in the moderate stage did also. Graessel et al (2011) showed that in nursing homes the ESs for the intervention were greater in the subgroup of patients (n ¼ 50) with mild to moderate disease.…”

A mixed methods systematic review of multimodal non-pharmacological interventions to improve cognition for people with dementia

Objective: Multimodal non-pharmacological interventions have been argued to have the potential to complement current pharmacological approaches to improving quality of life for people living with dementia. The aim of this review was to identify, synthesise and appraise the evidence for the effectiveness of multimodal non-pharmacological interventions for improving cognitive function specifically. Method: After a comprehensive search strategy including grey literature, 26 studies were reviewed. The inclusion criteria concerned adults with a primary diagnosis of dementia. Studies used two or more different modes of intervention, and measured a cognitive outcome. Due to differences in the conceptualisations of the term 'multimodal', a typology of modes and methods was developed to facilitate classification of candidate studies. Results: Twenty-one group studies and five case studies were found. Group studies used two or three modes of intervention and multiple methods to implement them. Interventions utilised were cognitive, physical, psychological and psychosocial, nutrition, fasting, gut health, sleep hygiene, stress reduction, detoxification, hormonal health and oxygen therapy. Five individual case studies were found in two separate papers. Each personalised patient treatment utilised in-depth assessments and prescribed up to nine different modes. In 19 (90%) of the 21 group comparisons, participants were reported to have cognitive improvements, stability with their

“…By offering a variety of activities, you are providing multiple and different opportunities for participants to be successful." 21 Moreover, we are now well aware of the possible side effects and risks of psychotropic medications in PWA. Consequently, nonpharmacological interventions have become the first-line approach for BPSD.…”

“…This kind of therapy would be also the most appropriate for the unique profile of each person with AD, even when performed in small groups. 21,22 In the past 13 years, our group has developed a multidimensional approach-Multidimensional Stimulation Therapy (MST). Our previous findings [23][24][25] support the notion that this group activity program, based on cognitive stimulation, recreational-occupational activities, and physical-psychomotor exercises, can lead to an improvement in behavioral aspects for PWA.…”

Background. The growing social emergency represented by Alzheimer's disease (AD) and the lack of medical treatments able to modify the disease course have kindled the interest in nonpharmacological therapies. Objective. We introduced a novel nonpharmacological approach for people with AD (PWA) named Multidimensional Stimulation group Therapy (MST) to improve PWA condition in different disease domains: cognition, behavior, and motor functioning. Methods. Enrolling 60 PWA in a mild to moderate stage of the disease, we evaluated the efficacy of MST with a randomizedcontrolled study. Neuropsychological and neurobehavioral measures and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data were considered as outcome measures. Results. The following significant intervention-related changes were observed: reduction in Neuropsychiatric Inventory scale score, improvement in language and memory subscales of Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive subscale, and increased fMRI activations in temporal brain areas, right insular cortex, and thalamus. Conclusions. Cognitive-behavioral and fMRI results support the notion that MST has significant effects in improving PWA cognitive-behavioral status by restoring neural functioning.

Developmental research often involves studying change across 2 or more processes or constructs simultaneously. A natural question in this work is whether change in these 2 processes is related or independent. Associative latent transition analysis (ALTA) was designed to test hypotheses about the degree to which change in 2 discrete latent variables is related. The ALTA model is a type of latent class model, which is a categorical latent variable model based on categorical indicators. In the ALTA approach, level and change on 1 variable is predicted by level and change in another. Two types of hypotheses are discussed: (a) broad hypotheses of dependence between the 2 discrete latent variables and (b) targeted hypotheses comparing specific patterns of change between levels of the discrete variables. Both types of hypotheses are tested via nested model comparisons. Analyses of relations between psychological state and substance use illustrate the model. Recent psychological state and recent substance use were found to be associated crosssectionally and longitudinally, implying that change in recent substance use was related to change in recent psychological state. Keywordsdevelopmental methods; analysis of change; latent class analysis; categorical data Developmental research often involves studying change across two or more processes or constructs simultaneously. A natural question concerning two changing constructs is whether change in those two processes is related? That is, as development (or more broadly, change) in one domain progresses, is development in another domain related? For example, are changes in one domain of cognitive development associated with changes in another? It is possible that both cognitive domains are developing independently, or that change in one domain spurs change in the other. Cross-sectional research cannot reveal temporal effects like those just described. The example presented here examines whether changes in recent psychological state predict changes in recent substance use, but the methods are applicable broadly to research examining change in two constructs.Research on associated change may focus on broad patterns of association between the two constructs or on more narrowly focused associations. As an example of a broad hypothesis, consider examining whether change across all levels of substance use is associated with (or predicted by) change across levels or states of psychological state. One could think of this as conceptually similar to an omnibus F test in an analysis of variance where many possible patterns of differences can lead to a conclusion of some difference. In a context where two NIH-PA Author ManuscriptNIH-PA Author Manuscript NIH-PA Author Manuscript dynamic processes are under study, one might think of this broad hypothesis as whether overall there are any associations in change and stability between the constructs.In contrast, hypotheses about associations between two changing constructs may also be quite precise. For example, one could examine diff...
