CONCLUSIONS
The evidence included is very heterogeneous in the patient groups, and it includes very heterogeneous interventions, which many times are difficult to group.
Low-quality evidence suggests that cognitive rehabilitation might not improve at short term the return to work, self-reported community integration, quality of life and several cognitive scales in patients with cognitive impairment secondary to traumatic brain lesions, Alzheimer’s disease and vascular dementia. Low-quality evidence suggests that cognitive rehabilitation based on memory training might improve subjective assessment of memory at short term in patients with cognitive impairment secondary to stroke, even though this benefit is not maintained at long term. In the case of patients with cognitive impairment secondary to multiple sclerosis, low-quality evidence suggests it might improve short and long term memory. Also, in patients with cognitive impairment secondary to multiple sclerosis, cognitive rehabilitation when compared with any other control might improve memory and working memory at short term.
No economic evaluations of cognitive rehabilitation for the indications assessed have been identified.
All the clinical practice guidelines from high-income countries consulted recommend cognitive rehabilitation in patients with cognitive impairment secondary to a traumatic brain lesion. For cognitive impairment secondary to stroke, most guidelines recommend cognitive rehabilitation and one of them does not mention it. The Argentine Neurology Society does not mention cognitive rehabilitation in its clinical practice guideline for Alzheimer’s disease.
In Argentina, the Superintendence of Health Services does not mention cognitive rehabilitation in the Mandatory Medical Plan and it is not reimbursed by the Reimbursement Unique System.
