Objective:
To evaluate the effectiveness of computer stimulating programs in rehabilitation of post-traumatic cognitive impairments in patients with concomitant aphasia.
Material And Methods:
The study included 32 young and middle-aged patients with moderate and severe cognitive impairment with concomitant and mild aphasia that occurred after traumatic brain injury.
Results:
The advantageous restoration of cognitive functions in patients with concomitant aphasia was observed when computer stimulating programs of both types were used, while the improvement of verbal-mediated functions (auditory speech memory and speech activity) was observed when the author's method VerbalCOG was utilized.
Conclusion:
The methods of computerized cognitive training have proven their effectiveness in the recovery from post-traumatic cognitive impairment in patients with concomitant aphasia in comparison with the control group that received medications only. At the same time, the author's program VerbalCOG showed the best results in restoration of verbal-mediated functions in comparison with other presented methods of treatment.

Amnesia
The severity and duration of memory loss vary depending on the type and underlying cause. Amnesia is classified into two main types: retrograde and anterograde.
Retrograde amnesia is marked by the loss of memories formed before the onset of the condition. Patients may recall distant past events but often forget those occurring shortly before the incident.
