Multimodal Cognitive Enhancement Therapy (MCET) was developed for cognitive rehabilitation of mild cognitive impairment or ealy dementia. MCET consists of cognitive training, cognitive stimulation, reality orientation, physical therapy, reminiscence therapy and music therapy that obtained 'A' grade of recommendation by SIGN(Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network) for their efficacy (one of the followings: global cognition/specific cognitive domain/mood/activities of daily living/behavioral and psychological symptoms/quality of life) based on the systematic review and meta-analysis performed by our research team.
This study investigated the efficacy of MCET compared with mock-therapy that consisted of random activities that were not based on clinical evidences (e.g., watching TV, conversation etc.).
