Multisensory Stimulation in Dementia.

The intervention group (IG) was submitted to 16 individual multisensory stimulation sessions that followed the protocol. In each session, at least two senses are stimulated in a safe, quiet and confidential environment. The sessions lasted 30 minutes and were conducted twice a week, on the same day and time whenever possible. Nonetheless, the session could be interrupted when the participant wished or if the therapist observed that the patient was uncomfortable. A nondirective approach and one-to-one intervention were adopted.
