Cognitive Therapies of Dementia
Cognitive therapies have emerged as promising interventions for managing the symptoms of dementia. These therapies aim to strengthen existing neural connections and foster neuroplasticity, the brain's ability to adapt and learn.
One of the most widely used cognitive therapies is reality orientation, which focuses on providing consistent information about time, place, and person to help individuals with dementia maintain a sense of reality. Cognitive stimulation therapy involves engaging in mentally stimulating activities, such as puzzles, games, and discussions, to improve cognitive function.
Alzheimer's 2024 conference will feature a scientific session dedicated to cognitive therapies for dementia, showcasing the latest research on their effectiveness and potential benefits. Experts will present findings from clinical trials evaluating various cognitive therapy approaches and discuss their role in improving the quality of life for individuals with dementia.
