Post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) which has been a barrier to the rehabilitation, could be prevented and treated. Early assessment of cognitive impairment, as well as diagnosis and comprehensive interventions of PSCI would improve rehabilitation of stroke patients. The rehabilitation, as an important component of the comprehensive intervention, could improve cognitive function, delay disease progression, and optimize the daily life. The widely-used rehabilitation methods include cognitive intervention, exercise training, music therapy, and neuromodulation techniques, etc. Comprehensive cognitive training covering multiple cognitive domains and multimodal intervention can significantly improve the overall cognitive function of patients. The research in the PSCI field is still in its infancy in China. Thus, It is necessary to pay more attention to the PSCI clinically, and unveil the unkown area in PSCI.
