Abstract

Cognitive rehabilitation has emerged as a promising intervention for managing Alzheimer’s disease (AD), aiming to mitigate cognitive decline and enhance quality of life. This paper explores the efficacy, techniques, and outcomes of cognitive rehabilitation in AD patients. Various approaches, including reality orientation, memory training, and task-specific interventions, have demonstrated potential to improve cognitive functioning, maintain independence, and reduce caregiver burden. Through a review of clinical studies and meta-analyses, we identify factors influencing intervention success, such as early diagnosis, patient engagement, and tailored approaches. The evidence suggests that while cognitive rehabilitation cannot halt disease progression, it can optimize remaining cognitive abilities, enabling patients to engage more meaningfully with their environment. Challenges, including variability in patient responses and the need for trained professionals, highlight areas for future research and development. The findings emphasize the importance of integrating cognitive rehabilitation into comprehensive AD care plans.
