Introduction. According to WHO, nowadays there is a tendency towards an increase in the average age of the population. This creates preconditions for the prevalence of cognitive impairment increase. So, the problem of cognitive disorders early diagnosis is currently relevant.The aim of the study is to analyze the current state of virtual reality technologies using in the field of neurorehabilitation, and to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of rehabilitation of cognitive abilities in a virtual environment in comparison with traditional methods.Material and methods. 245 publications were found in the PubMed database using keywords. After selection, 25 publications were included in the final sample.Results. During the publications analyzing, it was revealed that traditional methods of neurorehabilitation affect only socially significant components. Despite the topic relevance, there are only 6 programs for cognitive abilities rehabilitation. But, existing programs are a computer interpretation of traditional methods. However different studies indicate different clinical effectiveness degrees, which makes it difficult to draw a clear conclusion.Discussion. The use of virtual reality for the cognitive abilities rehabilitation is a promising direction in modern restorative neurology. Among other things VR opens up opportunities for mount rehabilitation in a remote format. Different clinical efficacy levels in different publications is due to the small number of studies and differences in the research methodology.Conclusion. It has been revealed that the problem of using virtual reality in the field of neurorehabilitation is currently relevant. However, more studies are needed to assess the clinical effectiveness of such methods.
