Background:
Cognitive rehabilitation is a highly individualised, non-pharmacological intervention for people with
mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia, which in recent years has also been developed for various IT
platforms.
Methods:
In this study, we aim to evaluate the effectiveness of the cognitive rehabilitation software GRADIOR in a
multi-centre, single-blinded randomised controlled trial with people with MCI and mild dementia. A total of 400
people with MCI and mild dementia will be randomly allocated to one of four groups. This trial will compare the
cognitive rehabilitation treatment using the GRADIOR programme with a psychosocial stimulation intervention
(PSS) using the ehcoBUTLER platform, with a combined treatment consisting of GRADIOR and ehcoBUTLER, and
with a group receiving treatment as usual during a period of 1 year.
Discussion:
The outcomes of this clinical trial will be to determine any relevant changes in cognition, mood,
quality of life, activities of daily living and quality of patient-carer relationship after 4 months and 1 year of
intervention in a cross-sectional group comparison. Participants will be followed-up for 1 year to investigate
potential long-term effects of the conducted treatments.
