An interventional study of 1-face-to-face and 2-tele rehabilitation in Mild Cognitive Impairment and Cognitive Impairment, sponsored by Saglik Bilimleri Universitesi. Completed at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Open to participants aged 65 Years to 75 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2022-12-27.

Different cognitive rehabilitation intervention methods have been developed for the treatment of cognitive dysfunctions seen in mild cognitive impairment (MCI). The aim of this study was to examine the effectiveness of cognitive rehabilitation intervention applied with the telerehabilitation method in elderly patients with amnestic-MCI.
Participants included in the study according to inclusion and exclusion criteria were randomly assigned to the telerehabilitation and face-to-face groups. A 12-week cognitive rehabilitation intervention was applied to both groups. Pre- and post-intervention cognitive skills of the participants were evaluated using the Loewenstein Occupational Therapy Cognitive Assessment-Geriatric (LOTCA-G).
A single-blinded, feasibility randomized controlled trial (RCT) investigated changes in the cognitive functions of older adults with amnestic-MCI after CR interventions applied face-to-face and with telerehabilitation. The study was designed according to the CONSORT statement. Approval for the study was granted by the Local Ethics Committee. Written informed consent was obtained from all participants prior to the study.
The demographic characteristics of the participants were recorded, including age, sex, education level, and marital status. All participants underwent a cognitive function assessment using the Loewenstein Occupational Therapy Cognitive Assessment-Geriatric twice, once before the intervention and again after the 12-week intervention. All participants were assessed in occupational therapy clinical practice units.
Participants were randomized to either the Face-to-Face group (FF) or the Tele-rehabilitation group (TR) using a computer-generated randomization technique.
After the randomization, cognitive rehabilitation intervention for both methods consist of 45-minute twice a week for 12 weeks. All participants received the intervention individually.
3,932 studies on the registry are indexed under Cognitive Dysfunction; 1,114 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 68 is close to the median of 64 across 2,855 interventional studies indexed under Cognitive Dysfunction.

Exclusion Criteria:
Cognitive rehabilitation intervention was given face-to-face.
Behavioral: 1-face-to-face
Cognitive rehabilitation intervention was given tele-rehabilitation method.
Behavioral: 2-tele rehabilitation
The cognitive rehabilitation intervention consists of 45-minute sessions, 2 days a week for 12 weeks. The same rehabilitation intervention program was applied to both groups by face-to-face or tele-rehabilitation method. The main purpose of the study is to see the effectiveness of cognitive rehabilitation intervention in the elderly with amnestic mild cognitive impairment and to compare the two methods.

The Loewenstein Occupational Therapy Cognitive Assessment-Geriatric (LOTCA-G)
The LOTCA-G, which was created to evaluate cognitive functions in the elderly. This test evaluates 8 cognitive domains with 24 items: orientation, visual perception, spatial perception, motor praxis, visuomotor organization, thinking operations, attention/concentration, and memory. The items in each subtest are evaluated on an ordered scale from 1 to 4 (excluding the orientation items scored from 1 to 8). A higher test score indicates better cognitive performance. The LOTCA-G can differentiate healthy older adults from those with dementia and MCI. It is sensitive to dementia levels and identifies changes over time. The LOTCA-G was used to evaluate the effectiveness of cognitive rehabilitation intervention both face-to-face and with tele-rehabilitation method. It was planned to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention, which consisted of a total of 24 sessions of 12 weeks, by making a total of two evaluations before and after the treatment.

Time frame: after the 12-week intervention program
Ran from Mar 2021 to primary completion in Jul 2021, 4 months.
Of 1,439 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Cognitive Dysfunction, half reached primary completion within 27 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 12 and three quarters within 51. This study's 4 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 1,512 studies reached it within 26 months; a quarter within 12 and three quarters within 50.
