“…Greater methodological rigour is advocated by those who view the primary aim of research as investigating whether and how arts activity might be integrated within evidence-based practice. Robust experimental designs, including the randomised controlled trial (RCT), are seen as desirable (Moniz-Cook, Vernooij-Dassen, Woods, Orrell, & INTERDEM Network, 2011).…”

Methodological rigour, or its absence, is often a focus of concern for the emerging field of evaluation and research around arts and dementia. However, this paper suggests that critical attention should also be paid to the way in which individual perceptions, hidden assumptions and underlying social and political structures influence methodological work in the field. Such attention will be particularly important for addressing methodological challenges relating to contextual variability, ethics, value judgement, and signification identified through a literature review on this topic. Understanding how, where and when evaluators and researchers experience such challenges may help to identify fruitful approaches for future evaluation.

“…Psychosocial intervention research has emerged as today's forerunner, given its aim to improve daily practice among professionals who provide support to people and families living with dementia. Psychosocial interventions in dementia involve interactions between people to improve psychological and social functioning (Moniz-Cook, Vernooij-Dassen, Woods, & Orrell, 2011;Rabins et al, 2007), such as cognitive stimulation therapy (Woods, Aguirre, Spector, & Orrell, 2012), occupational therapy (Graff et al, 2006) and support programmes for family carers (Vernooij-Dassen, Draskovic, McCleery, & Downs, 2011). This paper outlines the rationale for a paradigm shift in the design and methodology for evaluation of complex interventions in applied dementia care research.…”

“…Hence, some authors have proposed modified versions such as biopsycosocial or psychobiosocial therapies. 2,3 Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), due to its capacity to monitor neural circuits reorganization, has been recently introduced to evaluate the efficacy of these nonpharmacological treatments (see Cramer et al 4 for a review), also including treatments for amnestic mild cognitive impairment (MCI) 5 and AD. 6 Cognitive stimulation (CS) is probably the most widespread and well-studied technique in this field, but it is still a matter of debate whether this therapy is able to slow down the disease course.…”

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.
