Official Title: Executive Functioning in Alcoholics Following a Mobile Health Cognitive Stimulation Approach: a Randomized Controlled Trial
Brief Summary: The consequences of alcohol dependence are severe and may range from physical diseases to neuropsychological deficits in several cognitive domains. Alcohol abuse has also been related to brain dysfunction specifically in the prefrontal cortex. To assess these deficits and the application of a novel approach of cognitive stimulation to alcoholics, we have carried out a neuropsychological intervention program with mobile health technology. Patients diagnosed with alcohol dependence syndrome were submitted to cognitive stimulation during four weeks in a three-day/week basis.
