Investigating the Impact of computer-based cognitive rehabilitation on cognitive function of older adults with diabetes and mild cognitive impairment

Determining the effect of computer-based cognitive rehabilitation on cognitive function in older adults with diabetes and mild cognitive impairment

Randomized controlled trial, with parallel groups, single-blind. SPSS software was used for randomization.

Location of the study: Diabetes Center of Yazd city Procedure: The intervention was conducted using a cognitive rehabilitation package

Inclusion criteria for the study include: elderly individuals aged 60 to 75 years, diagnosis of type 2 diabetes, having a medical record at the diabetes center, willingness to participate in the research, scoring below 26 on the MoCA test, possessing basic literacy skills, and having the ability to work with a computer. Exclusion criteria include: presence of diabetic foot ulcers, absence from at least two intervention sessions, use of medications affecting cognitive status, hospitalization, history of stroke, severe diabetes complications (such as requiring dialysis, complete blindness, or severe disability) that hinder proper implementation of the intervention and tests, and any medical or psychiatric condition that prevents the elderly from continuing participation in the study

Cognitive rehabilitation tasks based on the 'Aram' and 'Parisa' packages will be provided to the intervention group twice a week over 10 sessions, each lasting 45 minutes. For the control group, a general educational session about diabetes and disease management, along with a pamphlet, will be provided

Improvement of cognitive function in the domains of selective attention, working memory, and inhibitory control in older adults with diabetes and mild cognitive impairment

Stratified randomization: To create equal entry conditions, an equal number of women and men will be assigned to each of the two intervention and control groups using a list created by SPSS software. Individuals eligible for study entry will be assigned to one of the two intervention and control groups based on this list, and the relevant interventions will be administered to that individual individually based on the intervention protocol. At the beginning of the study, the design partner will provide the principal investigator with envelopes containing the individuals' interventions in the order of entry into the study, based on the stratified random list created by the software, so that the assignment to the two groups remains hidden until the volunteer enters (allocation concealment).

Due to the nature of the intervention, it is not possible to blind the researcher and participants. Data Analyst: Data for analysis are provided to the analyst in coded form without identifying group affiliation. The analyst only examines the raw data and is not informed of the allocation of participants.

The data will be made available in anonymized form (without identifying information such as name, contact number or address). All data will be shareable after individuals are rendered non-identifiable. The protocol will be made available to other researchers in its entirety and without restriction. The clinical study report will be made available to other researchers after the study is completed and approved by the ethics committee. The statistical analysis plan will be made available to other researchers in its entirety. The data dictionary contains definitions and codes for the variables collected in the study. This file will be made available to other researchers in its entirety.

Anonymized participant data will be available 6 months after the final study results are published in a reputable journal.
