La Demencia Semántica (DS) es un tipo de demencia primaria que ha sido poco estudiada hasta la fecha, por lo que existen escasos estudios sobre su tratamiento no farmacológico y programas de prevención que intervengan sobre la misma. Por ello, se decidió crear un Programa de Prevención de la DS en fase inicial que aunara el conocimiento existente sobre sus características cognitivas y conductuales, y los posibles tratamientos, con el objetivo de frenar la evolución de la misma. Para el planteamiento de este se escogieron las técnicas de estimulación cognitiva, rehabilitación neuropsicológica y terapia del habla y el lenguaje, todas ellas de alta eficacia en el mantenimiento y/o mejora de las funciones cognitivas y el lenguaje en población con demencia. Debido a que la DS es una enfermedad neurodegenerativa la dependencia y la discapacidad son características que se presentarán en el futuro de los pacientes y sus cuidadores y/o familiares. Por ello, el programa incluye talleres de psicoeducación dirigidas a estos últimos con la finalidad de entrenarles en el manejo de los síntomas de DS y del estrés asociado a su rol.
Semantic Dementia (SD) is a type of primary dementia that hasn´t been studied in depth, which explains the lack of literature regarding non- pharmacological treatment and prevention programs in relation to this medical condition. This is the reason why we diceded to create a SD Prevention Program in an early stage of the desease. This program aims to gather the current knowledge about DS cognitive and behavioural characteristics and potential treatment in order to delay its development. So to achieve this aim we chose various validated therapies such as cognitive stimulation, neuropsychological rehabilitation and speech and language therapy, which are proven to be effective on the recovery of cognitive and language impairment associated with dementia. Due to DS being a neurodegenerative desease, dependence and disability are two topics to appear in the near future of the patient and its caregiver. Thus we included psychoeducational sessions intended to give caregivers the knowledge to deal with DS symptoms and stress.
