Estimulación cognitiva en las etapas tempranas de la Enfermedad de Alzheimer
Abstract
En el tratamiento de la Enfermedad de Alzheimer (EA) cada vez es más frecuente la
aplicación de terapias de estimulación cognitiva (TEC), dado que existen beneficios de
las mismas en combinación con el tratamiento farmacológico.
Objetivo: evaluar la eficacia de las TEC. Se realizará un diseño experimental con 138
personas diagnosticadas de EA en fase leve, pertenecientes a un centro de
entrenamiento cognitivo. Asignando no aleatoriamente la muestra a tres grupos: grupo
con Programa de Estimulación Cognitiva basado en Nuevas Tecnologías (PECNT),
grupo experimental con Programa de Estimulación Cognitiva Tradicional basados en
actividades del papel y lápiz (PECTR) y grupo control (NOPEC).
Variables: Edad, sexo, escolaridad, estado mental, independencia para AVD, deterioro
cognitivo, sintomatología depresiva y gravedad de los síntomas. Y utilizaremos un
Análisis de ANOVA para medidas repetidas.
La conclusión final son los beneficios obtenidos de las TEC en comparación de la no
aplicación de las mismas.
In treating Alzheimer's Disease (AD) it is becoming increasingly more frequent to apply cognitive stimulation therapy (ECT), since there are the same benefits in combination with drug treatment. Aim: to evaluate the effectiveness of the ECT. To determine this efficiency, I have defined an experimental design from a sample of 138 people diagnosed with AD in mild stage, belonging to a cognitive training center. Three groups are assigned using non-random sampling: the group of Cognitive Stimulation Program based on New Technologies (PECNT), the experimental group of Traditional Cognitive Stimulation Program based on paper and pencil activities (PECTR) and the control group (NOPEC). Variables: age, sex, education, mental status, independence for ADLs, cognitive impairment (ADAS-Cog), depressive symptoms and severity of symptoms. And analysis of variance is used repeated measures. The final conclusion is that there are benefits of using ECT compared to the nonimplementation of this technique.
