  • Efficacy of multimodal nonpharmacological interventions in mild cognitive impairment: a meta-analysis

    Objectives To systematically review the efficacy of multimodal nonpharmacological interventions in mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Methods An electronically search was conducted in PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, PsycINFO, Web of Science, CINAHL, VIP, CBM, WanFang Data and CNKI databases from inception to November 2017 to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on multimodal nonpharmacological interventions for MCI. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies. Then, meta-analysis was performed by RevMan 5.3 software. Results A total of 12 RCTs involving 1 359 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that there were no statistical differences between two groups in MMSE scores (SMD=0.33, 95%CI–0.13 to 0.78, P=0.16). However, the MoCA scores (SMD=0.52, 95%CI 0.38 to 0.67, P<0.000 01) and ADAS-Cog scores (SMD=1.13, 95%CI 0.75 to 1.51, P<0.000 01) in the multimodal nonpharmacological interventions group were better than those in the control group. Additionally, multimodal nonpharmacological interventions produced significant effects on ADL (SMD=–0.64, 95%CI –0.83 to–0.45, P<0.000 01), QOL-AD (MD=3.65, 95%CI 1.03 to 6.27, P=0.006) and depression (SMD=–0.83, 95%CI –1.41 to–0.26, P=0.005). There were no statistical differences between two groups on conversion rate to Alzheimer's disease (RR=0.27, 95%CI 0.06 to 1.26, P=0.10). Conclusions The current evidence shows that multimodal nonpharmacological interventions are feasible for patients with MCI as they have positive effects on overall cognitive abilities, daily living skills, and quality of life and depression. Nevertheless, due to the limited quantity and quality of included studies, more high quality studies are required to verify the conclusion.
