This research was a semi-experimental design with pre-test-post-test and control group. The study population consisted of patients with bipolar disorder who referred to psychiatric specialists, clinics and specialized centers of psychiatric services in Tabriz city in 2022 (October to March). Using convenience sampling method, 40 subjects were selected and randomly assigned in experimental and control groups (15 subjects in each group). They were assessed by Mania-Young Scale, Continuous Visual Performance Test (CPT-V), Chronoscope device (reaction time), Tower of London test. The experimental group received cognitive rehabilitation for 6 sessions and no intervention was applied to the control group. Finally, the post-test was implemented. Data were analyzed by Multivariate analysis of Covariance. Results showed that cognitive rehabilitation was effective in improving reaction time, planning and response inhibition in bipolar patients. Consequently, it could be stated that in improving the cognitive abilities of bipolar patients, the application of rehabilitation could provide appropriate setting for other therapeutic interventions.
