Evaluation of a speech therapy in patients with Alzheimer's disease under cholinergic treatment: A pilot study. The intervention on Alzheimer's disease (AD) has shown that pharmacological treatments with acetylcholinesterase inhibitors are highly beneficial. There is not much evidence if other treatments are effective, because it is difficult to find patients who are not medicated. In the present study a logopedic intervention in patients with AD in the mild phase, with and without pharmacological treatment, was verified. The results show that logopedic intervention slows the deterioration of the disease. The combination of logopedic intervention and pharmacological therapy is confirmed as the therapeutic option that most benefits the patient, while patients who only received one of the treatments show a more pronounced cognitive deterioration. The conclusions indicate that the pharmacological approach is necessary but insufficient, and that a logopedic intervention may be an adequate and effective complement in AD. Keywords : Alzheimer disease; Speech therapy; Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. Resumen: Al intervenir en pacientes con la enfermedad de Alzheimer (EA) se ha comprobado que los tratamientos farmacologicos con inhibidores de acetilcolinesterasa resultan altamente beneficiosos, pero existen pocas evidencias sobre la efectividad de otros tratamientos debido a que es dificil encontrar pacientes que no esten medicados. En el presente estudio piloto se comprueba la efectividad de una intervencion logopedica en enfermos con EA en fase leve, con y sin tratamiento farmacologico. Los resultados muestran que la intervencion logopedica frena el deterioro de la enfermedad. La combinacion de intervencion logopedica y terapia farmacologica es la opcion terapeutica que mas beneficios reporta al paciente, mientras que los enfermos que solo recibieron uno de los tratamientos muestran un deterioro cognitivo mas pronunciado. Las conclusiones indican que la aproximacion farmacologica es necesaria pero insuficiente, y que una intervencion logopedica puede ser un complemento adecuado y eficaz de la EA. Palabras clave : Enfermedad de Alzheimer; Intervencion logopedica; Inhibidores de acetilcolinesterasa.
