Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The current study adresses the effect of two different computer-based cognitive training programmes (Brain+ Evolution and Scientific Brain Training PRO) on attention and executive functions in patients with Parkinson's disease. The patients are assigned to one of three groups. Two training groups with each their programme, and a control Group. The training groups will train at home for 8 weeks with follow-ups every second week. The control group will not train at home, but will also receive a follow-up with computer-based stimuli (computerized Card game) every second week, to minimize the possibility that a possible effect is due to the follow-up's with a professional, and not due to the computer training at home.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Two intervention Groups training with each their computer-based cognitive programme, one control Group receiving no intervention except for the same amount of follow-ups as the two intervention Groups.

Primary Study Purpose

HEALTH_SERVICES_RESEARCH

Blinding Strategy

SINGLE

Outcome Assessors

Before and after the intervention period, the patients are tested in a neuropsychological battery to asses their executive functioning. The tester is blinded to the Group allocation of the patients.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Brain+ Evolution

Intervention: Training with computer-based programme Brain+ Evolution for 8 weeks, receiving follow-ups every second week.

Computer-based cognitive training.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Computer-based cognitive training

Intervention Type DEVICE

Computer-based cognitive programmes are computer programmes designed as games with the aim of training patients in certain cognitive domains.

Scientific Brain Training PRO

Intervention: Training with computer-based programme Scientific Brain Training PRO for 8 weeks, receiving follow-ups every second week.

Computer-based cognitive training.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Computer-based cognitive training

Intervention Type DEVICE

Computer-based cognitive programmes are computer programmes designed as games with the aim of training patients in certain cognitive domains.

Control group

This Group receives no intervention except for the same amount of follow-ups as the two training Groups. This is done to ensure that an effect of training is not aqtually due to the follow-up's with a professional.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
