Background: Subjective cognitive decline (SCD) is a preclinical stage and risk factor of Alzheimer’s disease. Early detection and effective intervention of SCD are of great significance in preventing AD. Nowadays, non-pharmaceutical interventions are increasingly being recognized and valued.
Objective: To introduce the reason, principle, and major method of
Non-pharmaceutical Intervention for SCD, with a focus on reviewing their
application and efficacy.
Methods: Taking “non-pharmaceutical intervention” and “subjective
cognitive decline” or “phycological intervention” and “subjective cognitive
decline” or “behavioral intervention” and “subjective cognitive decline” as
keywords, a literature retrieval is conducted to search for academic full-text
literature published in Chinese or English in the past 15 years. The literature
sources included journals, dissertations, and conference papers from databases
such as PubMed, Web of Science, CINAHL Plus, Scopus, Embase, PsycINFO, and
CNKI.
Results: Forty-seven articles were included. Previous literature
has shown that there are a variety of non-pharmaceutical intervention methods
for SCD. Non-pharmaceutical intervention can reduce the elderly SCD patients'
stress levels and negative emotions, raise their cognitive function (especially
attention and memory), and related physiological and biochemical indicators, enhance
their social participation and improve their quality of life.
Conclusion: The efficacy of non-pharmaceutical intervention for
SCD is increasingly recognized. However, there is a limitation in research
regarding their effectiveness in managing SCD. Additionally, their operating
procedures need to be standardized, and further verification of their efficacy
is required.
