The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the continuity of cognitive rehabilitation worldwide. However, the use of teleneuropsychology to provide cognitive rehabilitation has contributed significantly to the continuity of the treatment. Objectives: To measure the effects of cognitive telerehabilitation on cognition, neuropsychiatric symptoms, and memory strategies in a cohort of patients with mild cognitive impairment. Methods: A sample of 60 patients with mild cognitive impairment according to Petersen’s criteria was randomly divided into two groups: 30 treatment cases and 30 controls (waiting list group). Subjects were matched by age, sex, and Montreal Cognitive Assessment. The treatment group received ten cognitive telerehabilitation sessions of 45 minutes duration once a week. Pre-treatment (week 0) and post-treatment (week 10) measures were assessed for both groups. Different linear mixed models were estimated to test treatment effect (cognitive telerehabilitation vs. controls) on each outcome of interest over time (pre/post-intervention). Results: A significant group (control/treatment) x time (pre/post) interaction revealed that the treatment group at week 10 had better scores in cognitive variables: memory (RAVLT learning trials p=0.030; RAVLT delayed recall p=0.029), phonological fluency (p=0.001), activities of daily living (FAQ p=0.001), satisfaction with memory performance (MMQ satisfaction p=0.004) and use of memory strategies (MMQ strategy p=0.000), as well as, and a significant reduction of affective symptomatology: depression (GDS p=0.000), neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPI-Q p=0.045), forgetfulness (EDO-10 p=0.000), and stress (DAS stress p=0.000). Conclusions: Our study suggests that CTR is an effective intervention.

“…For example, in 2018 our journal presented results of 12-week memory skills group RCT (with the full treatment manual included as an online supplement!) (O'Connor et al, 2018). In this issue, we hear about an 8-week memory skills group for N = 101 older adults with PTSD which enhanced life satisfaction and cognitive self-efficacy in pre-post comparisons (Tyrrell, Shofer, & Trittschuh, 2019).…”

“…We begin our series of papers investigating specific treatments with a randomized trial of "Aging Well through Interaction and Scientific Education" (AgeWISE), a 12-week manualized psychoeducation and cognitive rehabilitation program to promote successful brain aging (O'Connor et al, 2017). Adults (N = 25) who completed the program reported more contentment and sense of control with their memory than controls (N = 24).…”
