Abstract
Abstract.MINDFULNESS AND NEUROCOGNITIVE REHABILITATION.Nowadays approximately fifty million persons are suffering from dementia throughout the world according to the latest statistics of the European Commission (2016). Moreover, every year new 7.7 million instances of this disease are detected. At this moment, Alzheimer’s disease would be the most common mental disorder in terms of world population health, in other words, this disease can signify 70% of all dementia. Even now pharmacological treatments are ineffective. Consequently, utilization of non pharmacological therapies is opening a wide range of possibilities aimed to increase prevention and, at the same time, improvement in living standards of careers and relatives of patients with dementia who are usually overburdened. This presentation contains a review about researches on mindfulness (MF) and its implementation like potentially strategies aimed to treat this disorder.Keywords: Dementias, Mindfulness, Neuroimagen, meta-analysis.Resumen.Los últimos datos aportados por la Comisión Europea señalan que la demencia afecta actualmente a casi cincuenta millones de personas en todo el mundo y que cada año se detectan 7.7 millones de nuevos casos. A día de hoy, el Alzheimer es la demencia más padecida por la población mundial pudiendo constituir en términos relativos el 70% de las demencias. En la actualidad no existen tratamientos farmacológicos que den una respuesta definitiva a este tipo de patologías. Las utilizaciones de terapias no farmacológicas abren un amplio abanico de posibilidades desde el ámbito de la prevención, y de la mejora de la calidad de vida en cuidadores y familiares de enfermos con demencia, básicamente con sintomatología de “sobrecarga”. En este articulo hacemos una revisión sobre investigaciones relacionadas con la “atención plena” ( MF) y de su implementación como estrategias potenciales en el abordaje de este tipo de patologías. Los últimos trabajos aportados con técnicas morfométricas por neuroimagen constituyen un importante avance a la hora de intentar aportar evidencia científica en este campo.Palabras clave: Demencias, Mindfulness, Neuroimagen, Meta-análisis, Rehabilitación.
