UNASSIGNED: Objective: @entity1545 ( @entity1545 ) frequently results in @entity2414 causing significant disabilities in daily life and is therefore a critical target for cognitive rehabilitation. Current understanding of brain plasticity has led to novel insights in remediation-oriented approaches for the rehabilitation of @entity2414 . We will describe 3 of these approaches that have emerged in the last decade: Virtual Reality (VR) training, Computer-Based Cognitive Retraining (CBCR) and @entity1313 ( @entity1313 ) and evaluate its effectiveness. Methods: A systematic literature search was completed in regard to studies evaluating interventions aiming to improve the memory function after @entity1545 . Information concerning study content and reported effectiveness were extracted. Quality of the studies and methods were evaluated. Results: A total of 786 studies were identified, 15 studies met the inclusion criteria. Three of those studies represent the VR technique, 7 studies represent CBCR and 5 studies @entity1313 . All 3 studies found a significant improvement of the memory function after VR-based training, however these studies are considered preliminary. All 7 studies have shown that CBCR can be effective in improving memory function in @entity1 suffering from @entity1545 . Four studies of the 5 did not find significant improvement of the memory function after the use of @entity1313 in @entity1545 @entity1 . Conclusion: On the basis of this review, CBCR is considered the most promising novel approach of the last decade because of the positive results in improving memory function post @entity1545 . The number of studies representing VR were limited and the methodological quality low, therefore the results should be considered preliminary. The studies representing @entity1313 did not detect evidence for the use of @entity1313 in improving memory function.
