Abstract
Goal of research - the study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and scientifi c basis for the use of osteopathic correction in the treatment of cognitive impairment.Materials and methods. Two groups of patients participated in the study: Group 1 (focus group) included 22 patients with a syndrome of mild cognitive impairment who received medication and osteopathic correction; Group 2 (control group) consisted of 22 patients who received medication only. The groups were comparable in age, sex, and severity of cognitive impairment. All patients observed before and after treatment underwent complex osteopathic and neuropsychological examinations.Results. The study found that the inclusion of osteopathic correction in the treatment of patients with mild cognitive impairment has a positive effect on the dynamics of a number of neuropsychological tests. In particular, there is a statistically signifi cant increase in the indicators based on the results of the Montreal Cognitive Evaluation Scale; there is a decrease in the overall anxiety level based on the results of the Hospital Alarm and Depression Scale. Moreover, the focus group shows a statistically signifi cant decrease in the severity of somatic dysfunction in the head and neck area, both structural and visceral components, which was not observed in the control group.Conclusion. The results from the study suggest recommending the inclusion of osteopathic correction in the complex therapy for patients with mild cognitive impairment.
