Computer-based Cognitive Training for Individuals With Parkinson's Disease
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Parkinson's Disease, Mild Cognitive Impairment
In brief
Computer-Based Cognitive Training for Individuals with Parkinson's Disease" is a 3-arm randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing Brain Fitness, InSight, and an active control (AC) training program to evaluate the feasibility of empirically supported computer-based cognitive training programs (CCTPs) for patients diagnosed with Parkinson's disease (PD) with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). This pilot study aims to address the need for increased interventions to target non-motor symptoms associated with PD.

You may qualify if…
- Participants eligible for this study must speak English and have a confirmed medical diagnosis of Parkinson's disease and meet established criteria for MCI in PD (Litvan et al., 2012), defined as individuals with performances of approximately -1 to -2 standard deviations below the mean on at least two tests within five cognitive domains assessed in their clinical neuropsychological evaluations.
You may not qualify if…
- Exclusion criteria include diagnosis of PD dementia based on Movement Disorder Society Task Force criteria (Emre et al., 2007) and other PD-associated comorbid conditions (e.g., severe anxiety, depression, excessive daytime sleepiness, or psychosis) that significantly influence cognitive testing (Litvan et al., 2012).
