Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Retrospective study to evaluate the effect of a remote cognitive-rehabilitative intervention during the Covid outbreak in subjects with Parkinson's disease.

Detailed Description

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

Mild cognitive impairment is frequent among people with Parkinson's disease. Cognitive training seems effective on cognitive status and for mitigating anxiety and depression. With COVID-19 outbreak, such therapeutic interventions were delivered online. This retrospective study was aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of an online cognitive treatment, carried out in COVID times and based on the Parkinson's-Adapted Cognitive Stimulation Therapy, on cognitive domains and mood in 18 older people with Parkinson's disease.

Cognitive digital treatment

Intervention Type OTHER

The remote cognitive-rehabilitation treatment was based on Parkinson's adapted cognitive stimulation therapy (CST). Fourteen twice-weekly sessions were planned, followed by one session per week for a duration of six months for maintenance therapy. The treatment took place in groups of 4 patients in remote mode through the Microsoft-Teams platform. All subjects maintained the prescribed drug therapy and regular physiotherapy activity during the intervention.
