Trial summary

Bipolar disorder is a major health concern. Intercritical periods are marked with residual symptoms, both thymic and cognitive, which affects quality of life of patients, but also the quality of observance. The implementation of cognitive remediation programs could be interesting. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of a Cognitive Remediation Program on Patients With Bipolar Disorders, With Memory Complaints

Bipolar disorder is a major health concern. Intercritical periods are marked with residual symptoms, both thymic and cognitive, which affects quality of life of patients, but also the quality of observance. The implementation of cognitive remediation programs could be interesting. The aim of this study is to evaluate the overall performance on euthymic bipolar patients with memory complaints included in the program named "COGMED", targeting the working memory.

The impact of this program on compliance, quality of life, and memory complaints will be evaluated.

The investigator will measure whether there is a correlation between working memory and overall performances.

Finally, the investigator will try to achieve a profile of bipolar patients in whom the Cogmed program is particularly effective on a plan of overall performance.

Read the detailed description

Patients with bipolar disorder and memory complaints will be recruited.

Two visits :

  1. at baseline (V0) : the investigator evaluate bipolar disorder, treatment, mood, quality of life, global functioning, and memory complaints. Patients also have a neuropsychological assessment. The COGMED program is proposed to patients with memory complaints and explain by the investigator
  2. 4-6 weeks after the end of the program (11-13 weeks after V1) : the same evaluation is realized to compare score before and after the program of cognitive remediation.

Between the two visits the patient will benefit of COGMED program, at home, during 5 weeks.

COGMED is a remediation cognitive program, based on working memory, consisting on daily exercises at home on a computer.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • COGMED programBehavioural

    Patient should connect on his computer at home, 5 times a week, for 5 weeks. Every day, the patient has to do 8 exercises for a total duration of 30 to 45 minutes.

    In total, the patient will have to complete 25 sessions. The difficulty level of the proposed items adjust automatically to the patient's maximum capacity to compel him to provide a cognitive effort. A progression index assesses the progress made by the patient.

    Every week, the investigator will call the patient for 10 minutes in order to gather the patient's feelings, his difficulties, provide some advice and encourage him.

    The investigator will have to analyze the results of curves available for each event, as well as the patient's progress index.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Evolution of the global functioning between the inclusion and the end of the program

    evaluation of variation of global functioning will be realized by the Functioning Assessment Short Test (FAST) scale after COGMED program.

    Measured: At 4 weeks

  2. Evolution of the global functioning between the inclusion and the end of the program

    evaluation of variation of global functioning will be realized by the Functioning Assessment Short Test (FAST) scale after COGMED program

    Measured: At 6 weeks

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Observance

    Evaluation of variation of patient's compliance by Medication Adherence Rating Scale (MARS) score after COGMED program.

    Measured: At the inclusion and 4 to 6 weeks until the end of the program COGMED (11 to 13 weeks after inclusion)

  2. Quality of life

    Evaluation of variation of quality of life by Short Form (36) Health Survey (SF-36) score after COGMED program.

    Measured: At the inclusion and 4 to 6 weeks until the end of the program COGMED (11 to 13 weeks after inclusion)

  3. Correlation between working memory and global functioning

    Searching a statistical correlation between global functioning (using FAST) and working memory (using neuropsychological tests)

    Measured: At the inclusion and 4 to 6 weeks until the end of the program COGMED (11 to 13 weeks after inclusion)

  4. Memory complaints

    Variations on memory complaints will be evaluated by Mac Nair Scale score before and after COGMED program.

    Measured: At the inclusion and 4 to 6 weeks until the end of the program COGMED (11 to 13 weeks after inclusion)
