Abstract
LOPEZ-HERNANDEZ, Karina; ARIAS-RAMIREZ, Yaira Zuleine; PINEDA-SALAZAR, David Antonio and CARVAJAL-CASTRILLON, Julián Santiago. Neuropsychological Rehabilitation Program On Declarative Memory And Functionality In An Adult With Epilepsy And Left Temporary Lobectomy. Rev Ecuat Neurol [online]. 2022, vol.31, n.1, pp.33-39.

Introduction:
Surgical intervention is a treatment option for refractory epilepsy, and after this procedure cognitive alterations may occur. Software-based intervention approaches represent an alternative to traditional approaches.
Objective:
To identify the effect of a neuropsychological rehabilitation plan for declarative memory in an adult with left temporal lobectomy, on their functional abilities.
Methodology:
A single-case quasi-experimental design was used; the participant was a 45-year-old woman with memory problems and difficulties in performing daily activities. The intervention was carried out using the CogniFit rehabilitation software, and the Functioning Classification Scale and the Quality of Life Questionnaire in Epilepsy were used for the measurement.
Results:
A large effect (NAP; 95%) was found in both indices.
Conclusions:
The implementation of a software-based program allows a comprehensive rehabilitation.
