Mnemonics can be used in aiding patients with memory deficits that could be caused by [[head injuries]], [[strokes]], [[epilepsy]], [[multiple sclerosis]] and other neurological conditions.

In a study conducted by Doornhein and De Haan, the patients were treated with six different memory strategies including the mnemonics technique. The results concluded that there were significant improvements on the immediate and delayed subtest of the RBMT, delayed recall on the Appointments test, and relatives rating on the MAC from the patients that received mnemonics treatment. However, in the case of stroke patients, the results did not reach statistical significance.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Nair |first1=RD |last2=Lincoln |first2=NB |title=Cognitive rehabilitation for memory deficits following stroke |journal=The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews |date=18 July 2007 |issue=3 |pages=CD002293 |doi=10.1002/14651858.CD002293.pub2 |pmid=17636703 |url = http://eprints.nottingham.ac.uk/34518/1/Nair_et_al-2007-The_Cochrane_library.pdf|editor1-last=Lincoln |editor1-first=Nadina }}</ref>
