Article Snippet: Boivin MJ et al ., 2019[ ] , To evaluate the effects of CCRT for alleviating persisting neurocognitive deficits in Ugandan severe malaria survivors , 150 school-aged children with severe malaria and 150 non-malaria children were randomised to three treatment arms: A limited CCRT arm that did not titrate to proficiency but instead alternated randomly between the easiest to medium level of training; and a passive control arm. The Captain’s Log CCRT arm consisted of 24 sessions and targeted attention, working memory, and nonverbal reasoning , KABC, 2 nd ed..ition Computerized CogState cognitive tests Behaviour rating inventory for executive function Achenbach Child Behaviour Checklist , Cognitive processing index ( P =0.04), Sequential thinking (working memory) ( P =0.02), and the concepts understanding subtest (planning/reasoning) ( P =0.02) all showed significant improvements compared to inactive controls. In comparison to passive controls, CogState card identification (attention) ( P =0.02) and the BRIEF global executive index improved one year after training ( P =0.01). Alone the KABC-II concept thinking (both full- and limited-CCRT; P =0.01), CogState Groton maze chase and acquisition ( P =0.01), and CogState card recognition ( P =0.05, full-CCRT only) tests significantly improved for non-malaria children undergoing CCRT , Due to the increased repetition and practice on pertinent training in the absence of performance titration for full CCRT, restricted CCRT for severe malaria survivors enhanced attention and memory outcomes far beyond full CCRT.
