MAXCOG—Maximizing Cognition: A Randomized Controlled Trial of the Efficacy of Goal-Oriented Cognitive Rehabilitation for People with Mild Cognitive Impairment and Early Alzheimer Disease

Participant Perspectives of Cognitive Rehabilitation for Type 2 Diabetes: Expectations and Impact

“…This has implications for adherence since goal setting has been shown to be a part of effective diabetes self-management and cognitive rehabilitation [40, 41]. The selection of goals by participants can create more meaning, maximize outcomes, and increase adherence.…”

Feasibility of remotely supervised transcranial direct current stimulation and cognitive remediation: A systematic review

“…Studies were published between the years of 1995-2018, and targeted multiple diagnoses including but not limited to: multiple sclerosis [24-26, 32-34, 51], Parkinson's disease [26,36,49], brain injury [50,58,60], and schizophrenia [35,43,45,52,54,55,57,61]. Only three papers [27][28][29] and one case study [30] were published with AD as the target population, with an additional study targeting mild vascular dementia [31]. Studies examined in this systematic search included both males and females with a noted age range of 7.77 (standard deviation: 1.62) to 94 years of age.…”

‘Most significant change’ and the maximising cognition (MAXCOG) intervention: The views of clients, supporters and counsellors

“…Ethics approval was obtained from Monash Health (12366A). A consecutive subset of nine clients with a diagnosis of MCI or early Alzheimer's disease (three women and six men aged between 64 and 80 years) and eight of their key supporters (partner, adult child or friend) from the MAXCOG randomised control trial were approached in their post‐intervention review session (one supporter was not available at the time of the interview to provide their story). Three counsellors were also approached (to provide two stories each).…”

“… recently conducted the first ‘individualised’ study of its type in which, rather than teaching a predetermined range of strategies, personally relevant goals were developed for each client. Our team attempted to replicate this approach with a randomised control trial of the maximising cognition (MAXCOG) intervention (for details of the intervention see ). Our goal‐directed intervention was similar to that used by Clare et al., but substantially shorter, with four (instead of 12) face‐to‐face sessions delivered by a counsellor to the client with MCI or early dementia and a key supporter.…”
