[Non-Pharmacological Treatment for the Patients with Neurocognitive Disease:Considering Useful Non-Pharmacological Treatments for Neurocognitive Disease].

Recent studies have reported the types, evidence levels, and recommendation levels of non-pharmacological therapies for neurocognitive diseases. (1) An overview of non-pharmacological therapies for neurocognitive disease, including exercise, occupational, cognitive stimulation (including so-called "brain training"), music, and reminiscence, was introduced, and the evidence levels were reported. Exercise and occupational therapies were found to have a high level of evidence and strong recommendations. (2) As a dementia rehabilitation method, rather than relying on a single program, a complex program that combines exercise therapy and multiple occupational therapies in a variety of ways is more effective. Thus, "short-term intensive dementia rehabilitation" was recommended. (3) The theoretical background of the effectiveness of exercise therapy was considered and the ideal form of exercise for the senior generation was described. (4) Team Orange's activities for preventing individuals with dementia from becoming isolated and lonely were described.
