Effects of a Computerised Cognitive Stimulation Versus Stimulating Leisure Activities

Effects of a Personalised and Tailored Computerised Cognitive Stimulation Programme Versus Stimulating Leisure Activities in Older Adults with Mild Cognitive Impairment and Subjective Cognitive Impairment: Randomised Controlled Trial

Sponsor

Universidad de Zaragoza

Enrollment

90 participants

Start Date

Apr 1, 2024

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Randomized Controlled Trial Mild Cognitive Impairment Subjective Cognitive Impairment

Summary

The aim of the study is to evaluate, at the level of global cognition, cognitive neuroconstructs, memory, verbal fluency, ADLs, IADLs, symptoms of depression and anxiety, the effectiveness of a personalised and adapted computerised cognitive stimulation programme (GI1) implemented from Primary Care versus stimulating leisure activities (GI2), in older adults aged 50 years and over with mild cognitive impairment and subjective cognitive impairment living in the community.

Eligibility

Min Age: 50 Years

Inclusion Criteria3

≥ 50 years old, resident in the community.
Diagnosis of MCI or having between 24 and 27 points on the MEC-35 (this score seems to indicate the presence of MCI) (Calero, M. D and Navarro, 2006).
Subjective cognitive impairment (score between 28-31 points on the MEC-35) (Gómez-Soria et al. 2023)

Exclusion Criteria5

Institutionalisation.
Taking acetylcholinesterase inhibitors as they may act on global cognition and/or cognitive functions.
Sensory deficits (deafness and blindness) preventing intervention.
Agitation.
Having received cognitive stimulation in the last 12 months.

Interventions

OTHERCognitive stimulation

Cognitive stimulation through the stimulus platform; 30 minutes/day, 5 days/week, 8 weeks; 40 sessions. The following will be worked on: memory, orientation, language, praxis, gnosis, calculation, perception, logical reasoning, attention-concentration and executive functions.

OTHERStimulating leisure activities

Intervention group 2 (IG2) will perform between 2 and 5 cognitively stimulating leisure activities for 8 weeks. These leisure activities will be selected from the adapted version of the Karp et al. 2006 questionnaire (Karp et al., 2006) taking into account the three components of leisure activities (mental, physical and social). The questionnaire contains 29 activities. In addition to indicating which cognitively stimulating leisure activities they perform on a weekly basis, participants in IG2 will indicate their daily frequency (\< 30 min, 30min-1 hour, 1-2 hours, \> 2 hours), commenting on whether they have carried them out individually or in a group. It will also be taken into account whether these activities were previously carried out according to their stage of life.
