Although cognitive stimulation (CS) is one of the most popular non-pharmacological interventions for people with dementia, its efficacy is still debatable. We performed a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the efficacy of CS in people with dementia.
Data sources were identified by searching PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase, psychINFO, and Cochrane Reviews Library. A total of 7,354 articles were identified, and of these, 30 RCTs were selected based on the selection criteria. Of these 30 RCTs, 14 were finally included in our meta-analysis [731 participants with dementia; 412 received CS (CS group) and 319 received usual care (control group)].
We found that the people with dementia had a moderate benefit from CS. The mean difference between the CS and control groups was 2.21 [95% CI (0.93, 3.49), Z=3.38, p=0.00007] in the Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-Cognition and 1.41 [95% CI (0.98, 1.84), Z=6.39, p<0.00001] in the Mini-Mental State Examination. CS also improved quality of life in people with dementia [95% CI (0.72, 3.38), Z=3.02, p=0.003].
CS is effective for improving cognition and quality of life in people with dementia; however, its effects were small to moderate.
尽管认知刺激(CS)是针对痴呆症患者最常用的非药物干预措施之一,但其疗效仍存在争议。我们对关于CS对痴呆症患者疗效的随机对照试验(RCT)进行了荟萃分析。
通过检索PubMed、MEDLINE、Embase、psychINFO和Cochrane综述库来确定数据来源。共识别出7354篇文章,其中30项RCT根据选择标准被选中。在这30项RCT中,最终14项被纳入我们的荟萃分析[731名痴呆症患者;412人接受CS(CS组),319人接受常规护理(对照组)]。
我们发现痴呆症患者从CS中获得了中度益处。在阿尔茨海默病评估量表 - 认知方面,CS组与对照组的平均差异为2.21[95%可信区间(0.93,3.49),Z = 3.38,p = 0.00007],在简易精神状态检查表中为1.41[95%可信区间(0.98,1.84),Z = 6.39,p < 0.00001]。CS还改善了痴呆症患者的生活质量[95%可信区间(0.72,3.38),Z = 3.02,p = 0.003]。
CS对改善痴呆症患者的认知和生活质量有效;然而,其效果为小到中度。
