Multisensory Stimulation for People With Dementia: A Review of the Literature – Abstract
American Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease & Other Dementias® Alba Sanchez, MD1, Jose ́C. Milla ́Calenti, PhD1, Laura Lorenzo-Lopez, PhD1, and Ana Maseda, PhD1
The use of multisensory stimulation in people with dementia is becoming increasingly popular in the last decades. The aim of this review is to analyze the therapeutic effectiveness of multisensory stimulation in people with dementia. We made a search on Medline and Web of Science databases referred to all researches published from the year 1990 to 2012, which used multisensory stimulation techniques in people with dementia. The revision of the 18 articles which fulfilled the inclusion/exclusion criteria seems to prove evidence that multisensory stimulation environments produce immediate positive effects on the behavior and mood of people with dementia. Based on the above, we think it can be a useful nonpharmacological intervention on neuropsychological symptoms though, in any case, it would be necessary to start more reliable protocols from the methodological point of view in order to establish its long-term effectiveness.
“The evidence for non-pharmaceutical approaches to the behavior problems often seen in dementia is better than the evidence for antipsychotics, and far better than for other classes of medication” –
“Multisensory approach is a useful nonpharmaceutical intervention in neuropsychological symptoms of dementia” – “A great part of our personal identities comes from knowing where we are on the timeline of our lives. When you start to lose your memory, you start to lose your sense of yourself. Though, there are ways to stimulate the mind when living with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.”H. C. Kales, L. N. Gitlin, C. G. Lyketsos. Assessment and Management of Behavioral and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia. BMJ, 2015; 350 (mar02 7): h369 DOI:
Multisensory and Other Nonpharmaceutical Approaches to Dementia Care
In “Multisensory stimulation for people with dementia: a review of the literature,” MillánCalenti et al note that multisensory stimulation in people with dementia is becoming increasingly popular. The aim of their review was to analyze the therapeutic effectiveness of multisensory stimulation in patients with dementia. They found the evidence that multisensory stimulation environments produce immediate positive effects on the behavior and mood in those with dementia. They believe it is a useful nonpharmacological intervention on neuropsychological symptoms. However, reliable protocols from the methodological point are needed to determine whether there are sustained effects.
In “Motor and multisensory carebased approach in dementia: long term effects of a pilot study,” Marques et al examine the short, mid, and longterm effects of a motor and multisensory carebased approach on the behavior of institutionalized individuals with dementia and on care practices according to staff perspective. They used both motor and multisensory stimulation strategies during morning care. They found shortterm improvement in communication and engagement in their patients. However, this was followed by a decline over time. They also noted difficulties related to their institutional organization. They conclude that multisensory care may be helpful; however, there is a need to implement longterm strategies and involve institutions at different organizational levels to sustain results.
