1.	Cognitive Dysfunction 01/01/2021 - "The most effective treatment of cognitive impairments is drill and practice cognitive training. " 01/01/2018 - "To review the existing literature on the efficacy of cognitive rehabilitation in PD and highlight the most effective form of intervention to prevent cognitive decline. " 01/01/2014 - "USMART was effective in improving memory and was well tolerated by most participants with MCI, suggesting that it may be a convenient and cost-effective alternative for the cognitive rehabilitation of elderly subjects with cognitive impairments. " 01/01/2023 - "The neuropsychological assessment and the identification of patients with cognitive impairment and specific risk factors (e.g., older age and longer history of alcohol use) is important to orient cognitive rehabilitation and increase the efficacy of AUD treatments." 01/01/2013 - "To test the efficacy of cognitive training administered online, 18 participants (11 cognitively healthy; 7 mild cognitive impairment) were recruited from a clinical population of older adults to complete an online training intervention (CogniFit™). "
2.	Schizophrenia (Dementia Praecox) 01/01/2019 - "Neuroscience-guided cognitive training induces significant improvement in cognition in schizophrenia subjects, but the biological mechanisms associated with these changes are unknown. " 01/01/2018 - "Our results highlighted the significant cost of schizophrenia and suggest that improvement in patient care, based on well-validated targeted therapeutic interventions such as psycho-education and cognitive rehabilitation, could reduce worsening in symptom severity and therefore decrease health care costs." 06/01/2011 - "Improvements in neurocognition and social cognition that result from cognitive rehabilitation are both significant mediators of functional improvement in early-course schizophrenia. " 10/01/2002 - "While this pilot study is limited in terms of sample size, results suggest that the addition of cognitive rehabilitation to the comprehensive treatment of schizophrenia could be beneficial in enhancing daily living skills." 01/01/2021 - "Participants in the daily training group showed improved performance compared to the intensive group only at session 4. This is the first study to show that implicit learning rates are influenced by training intensity, with daily sessions outperforming a more intensive regimen; a period of consolidation overnight may be necessary to optimize cognitive training for individuals with schizophrenia."
3.	Stroke (Strokes) 12/01/2020 - "Here, the authors empirically review the respective literature and critically discuss the technologies that are currently most often used for cognitive enhancement in stroke patients, which are computerized cognitive training, virtual reality, noninvasive brain stimulation and brain-computer interfaces. " 02/01/2017 - "Findings show that the cognitive training program developed in this study is beneficial in restoring cognitive function and improving ADL in patients following a stroke. " 01/01/2023 - "Which noninvasive brain stimulation (NIBS) treatment - transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) or transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) - is more beneficial for stroke patients' cognitive rehabilitation is still up for debate. " 01/01/2022 - "After intra and inter group comparisons, we found the following results: (1) Within the stroke group who received cognitive rehabilitation, almost all cognitive domains improved relatively or totally; (2) They exhibit a pattern of widespread increased in FC within the beta band that was related to the recovery process (there were no significant differences between patients who underwent rehabilitation and controls); (3) These FC recovery changes were related with the enhanced of cognitive performance. " 08/01/2021 - "The results indicated significant effects of a cognitive rehabilitation program on the auditory (p = 0.002) and visual (p = 0.009) attention as well as the 6-week follow-up after the intervention, and it improved visual and auditory attention in stroke patients in the experimental group. "
4.	Dementia (Dementias) 01/01/2003 - "Due to a complete absence of RCTs evaluating an individualised cognitive rehabilitation approach, It is not possible at present to draw conclusions about the efficacy of individualised cognitive rehabilitation interventions for people with early-stage dementia, and further research is required in this area." 01/01/2022 - "Cognitive training (CT) may be beneficial in delaying the onset or slowing dementia progression. " 05/01/2020 - "This combination of tDCS and language/cognitive training significantly improved the naming ability of dementia patients." 01/01/2016 - "A combined physical and cognitive rehabilitation programme leads to significant improvements in dual-task walking in early dementia, which may be contributed by improvement in cognitive performance, as single-task gait performance remained stable." 03/01/2021 - "Online memory training intervention was effective in improving the memory for adults with dementia. "
5.	Alzheimer Disease (Alzheimer's Disease) 02/03/2023 - "The purpose of the present study was to explore whether Computer-Based Cognitive Training (C-BCT) versus Paper-Pencil Cognitive Training (P-PCT) is more beneficial in improving cognitive and language deficits in Greek patients living with Alzheimer's disease (pwAD). " 03/01/2014 - "Cognitive training may be beneficial for individuals with Alzheimer's disease (AD); however, the effects are modest with little evidence of carryover. " 10/18/2023 - "Therapies based on physical activity and rehabilitation, cognitive stimulation and occupational therapy with music, animals and art, applied and maintained over time, are an alternative which, either combined or applied in isolation, are effective in preventing, stopping and slowing down Alzheimer's disease symptoms, especially in the first phase. " 01/01/2016 - "Cognitive rehabilitation is a goal-oriented behavioural intervention which focuses on improving everyday functioning through management of cognitive difficulties; it has been shown to be effective in Alzheimer's disease. " 01/01/2014 - "Is cognitive training an effective treatment for preclinical and early Alzheimer's disease?"
