Abstrakt: Objective: To analyze the differences in the dynamics of cognitive functions in the elderly and old people during a comprehensive neurocognitive rehabilitation program with- and without drug therapy.
Material and Methods: Ninety-six patients, aged 53-88 years, with cognitive impairment of varying degrees are divided into two groups depending on the presence/absence of drug therapy during the neurocognitive rehabilitation program. Assessment of cognitive functions was carried out twice: at the beginning and at the end of the rehabilitation program using international cognitive status assessment scales (MMSE and MoCA).
Results: The analysis of the dynamics of cognitive functions revealed the high efficiency of the neurocognitive rehabilitation program in both groups. The results of the study demonstrate insignificant differences in the dynamics of cognitive functions in the two groups, however, a clear direct effect of drug therapy on changes in cognitive functions has not been established. An analysis of the statistical significance of the data did not reveal differences.
Conclusions: The study confirmed the positive dynamics of cognitive functions in the elderly and old people who underwent the neurocognitive rehabilitation program both with the use of drug therapy and without its use. The issue of the need to use drugs in the framework of this program requires further study. The results of the study can be used in planning programs of psychological, medical and social support for the elderly and old people.
