“…In addition, cognitive rehabilitation training has been demonstrated to improve aspects of cognition in a range of disorders, including some commonly comorbid with substance use disorders, such as major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia (Bowie, Gupta, & Holshausen, 2013a; Elliott & Parente, 2014; Revell, Neill, Harte, Khan, & Drake, 2015; Wykes, Huddy, Cellard, McGurk, & Czobor, 2011). In a meta-analysis of cognitive enhancement treatments for schizophrenia that included 2,104 participants, durable effects on global cognition and functioning were reported (Wykes et al, 2011).…”

Stimulant use disorder is an important public health problem, with an estimated 2.1 million current users in the United States alone. No pharmacological treatments are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for stimulant use disorder and behavioral treatments have variable efficacy and limited availability. Most individuals with stimulant use disorder have other comorbidities, most with overlapping symptoms and cognitive impairments. The goal of this article is to present a rationale for cognition as a treatment target in stimulant use disorder, and to outline potential treatment approaches. Rates of lifetime comorbid psychiatric disorders among people with stimulant use disorders are estimated at 65% - 73%, with the most common being mood disorders (13% - 64%) and anxiety disorders (21% - 50%), as well as non-substance induced psychotic disorders (under 10%). There are several models of addictive behavior, but the dual process model particularly highlights the relevance of cognitive impairments and biases to the development and maintenance of addiction. This model explains addictive behavior as a balance between automatic processes and executive control, which in turn are related to individual (genetics, comorbid disorders, psychosocial factors) and other (craving, triggers, drug use) factors. Certain cognitive impairments, such as attentional bias and approach bias, are most relevant to automatic processes, while sustained attention, response inhibition, and working memory are primarily related to executive control. These cognitive impairments and biases are also common in disorders frequently comorbid with stimulant use disorder, and predict poor treatment retention and clinical outcomes. As such, they may serve as feasible trans-diagnostic treatment targets. There are promising pharmacological, cognitive, and behavioral approaches that aim to enhance cognitive function. Pharmacotherapies target cognitive impairments associated with executive control and include cholinesterase inhibitors (e.g., galantamine, rivastigmine) and monoamine transporter inhibitors (e.g., modafinil, methylphenidate). Cognitive behavioral therapy and cognitive rehabilitation also enhance executive control, while cognitive bias modification targets impairments associated with automatic processes. Cognitive enhancements to improve treatment outcomes is a novel and promising strategy, but its clinical value for the treatment of stimulant use disorder, with or without other psychiatric comorbidities, remains to be determined in future studies.

“…Treatment should be directed toward the specific pathology. Targeted cognitive rehabilitation may be beneficial across the spectrum of memory dysfunction, 29 especially in mild impairment. 30 Pharmacologically, cholinesterase inhibitors are approved for use in the treatment of Alzheimer disease and Parkinson disease dementias, and memantine is approved for the later stages of Alzheimer disease.…”

“…Recently, treatments mediated by Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have been very well received, finding significant differences between traditional cognitive or pencil and paper-training programs and those that incorporate the use of technological tools, such as mobile applications (APP), interactive games and multimedia devices [32]. For example, Shin and Kim [33], during their investigation with patients with cranioencephalic trauma, showed significant differences for ICT-mediated cognitive training, while participants demonstrated improvements in attention and memory processes, compared to those who received a traditional program.…”

This work constitutes a narrative review of the state of knowledge and advances in the intervention and treatment of addictions through the use of information and communication technologies, considering the growing demand for virtuality-mediated strategies that facilitate the approach of problems of public health such as addictions, which increase considerably year after year. To this end, the reader will be provided with a current overview of the drug use trend; subsequently, a conceptualization of the concept of addiction and its understanding from a neurobiological perspective and, finally, the progress in terms of intervention processes and therapeutic approach will be presented; which will imply an approach to the concept of e-health and rehabilitation mediated by information and communication technologies (ICT).

Efficacy of memory rehabilitation therapy: A meta-analysis of TBI and stroke cognitive rehabilitation literature

Abstract: RESULTS showed that memory rehabilitation was an effective therapeutic intervention, especially for stroke patients and for working memory as a treatment domain. However, the results also indicated that significant memory improvement occurred spontaneously over time.
