The achievement of personal goals is a dilemma which bring lots of goodness to the mind of people, a recent Alzheimer’s that was conducted by Society research published in the American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry has found that achieving personal goals can help people in managing their problems during the early stages of dementia. The whole research actually revolved around cognitive rehabilitation which is actually a treatment in which people with dementia work with their medical experts to decide about their personal goals in life and also to develop strategies for achieving those goals.
During this trial, 8 weekly individual sessions of cognitive rehabilitation were compared with each other and after that the above stated results were obtained.
While talking about this research Dr Susanne Sorensen, Head of Research at Alzheimer’s Society said that “The findings provide a basis for a larger study of cognitive rehabilitation as a means of assisting people in the early stages of dementia and their families to better manage the condition.”
Professor Linda Clare, who led the research, stated that “We found that the brains of participants who received cognitive rehabilitation did show different responses after the intervention. This suggests that the treatment may have stimulated greater activity in certain brain areas and networks, reactivating some areas that were under-functioning due to the effects of the disease”.
Thus we can say that a new way for treating the dementia has got revealed and if future work will be performed on this issue then better results will be obtained in future.
