Non-pharmacological measures in patients with dementia: an important aspect little recognized by the population
Cognitive Impairment (CI) is defined as an alteration of cognitive functions and/or memory, which is evidenced by a change in relation to the previous level or state of activity. Cognitive impairment is one of the categories where the so-called non-pharmacological interventions are mo...

| description |
Cognitive Impairment (CI) is defined as an alteration of cognitive functions and/or memory, which is evidenced by a change in relation to the previous level or state of activity. Cognitive impairment is one of the categories where the so-called non-pharmacological interventions are most important. Most of the etiological processes responsible for cognitive impairment do not have a curative pharmacological treatment, so non-pharmacological treatments have become increasingly important in recent years. The aim of the present work was to know the information that patients and relatives have about non-pharmacological treatment in CI, what importance they give it and what measures they have taken.
From November 2022 to June 2023, an anonymous closed survey of 150 patients and family members presenting to the HNC Neurology consulting room regarding non-pharmacological treatment in CI was conducted. The variables used were age, sex, knowledge about neurocognitive rehabilitation, consideration of its importance, what type of diet they do, if they do physical activity, activities they do during the day.
Of the total, 65% were female. The mean age was 75 years. The vast majority (72%) were unaware of these measures. 20% have undergone rehabilitation and more than half have stimulation tools at home. More than half of the patients do not carry out any other task that is not related to the domestic ones. About physical exercise performed, 52% do not perform a constant activity. With regard to food, most do not follow the guidelines linked to cognitive improvement.
It has been found that many of the patients do not have non-pharmacological treatment measures, since they do not know what they are about. But by sharing information on this topic, they recognize the value of it. With the increase in life expectancy, consultations for cognitive failures are increasing more and more in Neurology consulting room, so it is considered essential to carry out activities that encourage adherence to these practices in order to improve quality of life.

Se define Deterioro Cognitivo (DC) como una alteración de las funciones cognoscitivas y/o la memoria, que se evidencia en un cambio en relación con el nivel o estado previo de actividad. El deterioro cognitivo es una de las categorías donde más importancia tienen las denominadas intervenciones no farmacológicas. La mayoría de los procesos etiológicos responsables del deterioro cognitivo no tiene tratamiento farmacológico curativo, por lo que los tratamientos no farmacológicos han adquirido un protagonismo creciente en los últimos años. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue conocer la información que tienen pacientes y familiares sobre tratamiento no farmacológico en DC, qué importancia le dan y qué medidas han realizado. Se realizó de noviembre de 2022 a junio de 2023, una encuesta cerrada anónima a 150 pacientes y familiares que acudieron al consultorio de Neurología del HNC sobre tratamiento no farmacológico en DC. Las variables utilizadas fueron edad sexo conocimiento sobre rehabilitación neurocognitiva, consideración de importancia de esta, qué tipo de alimentación realizan, si realizan actividad física, actividades que realizan durante el día. Del total, el 65 % eran sexo femenino. La media de edad fue de 75 años. La gran mayoría (72%) no tenían conocimiento sobre estas medidas. Un 20% ha realizado rehabilitación y más de la mitad cuenta con herramientas de estimulación en su domicilio. Más de la mitad de los pacientes no realizan otra tarea que no sea las vinculadas con las domésticas. Sobre ejercicio físico realizado, 52% no realiza una actividad constante. En lo que respecta a la alimentación, la mayoría no siguen con las pautas vinculada a una mejora cognitiva. Se ha encontrado que muchos de los pacientes no cuentan con las medidas de tratamiento no farmacológico, dado a que desconocen de qué se tratan. Pero al compartir información sobre este tema, reconocen el valor que tienen las mismas. Con el aumento de la expectativa de vida, las consultas por fallas cognitivas aumentan cada vez más en los consultorios de Neurología, por lo que se considera fundamental realizar actividades que inciten a la adherencia de estas prácticas con el fin de mejorar la calidad de vida.
