Clinical Trial Summary

The present project aims to investigate the financial capacity in patients diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease or parkinsonism, brain tumor (glioma or meningioma) and cerebrovascular lesion (stroke), in order to evaluate the presence and degree of impairment, and the role of some factors as potential predictors of financial incapacity.

The term 'financial capacity' means both operations relating, for example, to asset management or investing money, and activities of daily life such as shopping or using small sums of money; these activities are mediated by different cognitive functions, from numerical and arithmetic skills to decision making. Financial capacity is, in fact, an instrumental activity of daily life (i.e. Instrumental Activity Of Daily Living, I-ADL) whose impairment negatively affects the functional autonomy of the individual, so as to be subject to legal protection.

To assess financial capacity, the Numerical Activities of Daily Living - Financial (NADL-F; Arcara et al., 2017) will be administered, a battery of tests aimed at investigating both financial performance and financial competence according to the most recent neuropsychological models proposed in the literature.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Numerical Activity of Daily Living Financial (NADL-F) in Patients with Parkinson's Disease/Parkinsonisms	Assessment of financial capacity; score range=0-62; higher scores indicate higher financial capacities	At baseline
Primary	Numerical Activity of Daily Living Financial (NADL-F) in Patients with ischemic or haemorrhagic stroke	Assessment of financial capacity; score range=0-62; higher scores indicate higher financial capacities	At baseline
Primary	Change from baseline in Numerical Activity of Daily Living - Financial (NADL-F)Patients with brain tumors	Assessment of financial capacity; score range=0-62; higher scores indicate higher financial capacities	At 3 and 12 months follow up
Primary	Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA)	Assessment of global cognitive functioning	At baseline
Primary	Frontal Assessment Battery (FAB)	Assessment of global cognitive functioning	At baseline
Primary	Activities of daily living questionnaire (ADL)	Assessment of function independence in everyday life	At baseline
