Abstract:
Despite decreases in mortality rate, the treatment of cognitive deficits following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) remains a serious challenge for clinicians and survivors alike. Deficits in executive function, language, and memory prevent more than half of survivors from returning to their previous level of work and put a tremendous amount of stress on the individual and their family. New therapies are needed for survivors of aSAH in order to improve cognitive outcomes and quality of life. The aim of this review is to discuss the prevalence and contributing factors of cognitive deficits following aSAH, as well as areas for therapeutic intervention. Due to the limited research on cognitive rehabilitative strategies for aSAH, a literature search of traumatic brain injury (TBI) was used to explore therapies with the potential to improve cognitive outcomes in aSAH. Across cognitive domains, existing rehabilitative and pharmacotherapeutic strategies for TBI show promise to be useful for survivors of aSAH. However, further study of these therapies in addition to consistent assessment of cognitive deficits are required to determine their efficacy in survivors of aSAH.
