On-line Cognitive Training for Parkinson's Disease

Parkinson Disease Clinical Trial

Official title: On-line Cognitive Training for Mild Cognitive Impairment in Parkinson's Disease: a Randomized Single-blind Study Using Wearing Sensors Technology

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Application of online cognitive training in patients affected by Parkinson's disease and mild cognitive impairment. The treatment consists of a 6-week on-line cognitive training preceded and followed by neurological, neuropsychological and motor assessment.

Clinical Trial Description

At the recruitment, participants will undergo a neurological visit, a neuropsychology assessment (2 tests for each considered cognitive domain: memory, attention, visuospatial, executive function, language) and a motor assessment with wearing sensors under supervised conditions.

In the treatment arm only, patients will have the Neuronation application installed on their personal technology device (smartphone or tablet) and are asked to complete 4 training session three times a week. Each session is composed of 5 exercises from one out of 4 cognitive domains: Memory, Attention, Speed and Reasoning. The training is tailor made, the complexity of the exercises is adjusted online, based on the patient's performance.

Participants are re-assessed at the end of the 6-week cognitive training (T1) to find out its effects on cognition and motor ability. The same assessment is administered also after 1 (T2) and 3 (T3) months from the end of the cognitive training to test long-term effects. ;
