Trial Outcomes & Findings for Cognitive Training in Parkinson's Disease (NCT NCT05495997)

NCT ID: NCT05495997

Last Updated: 2025-08-11

Results Overview

Neuro-QoL CF v2 measures self-reported levels of cognitive functioning. Raw scores are converted to standardized T-scores (mean of 50 with a standard deviation of 10). Increase in T-scores from baseline indicates improvement in everyday cognitive functioning.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 6 weeks

Neuro-QoL CF v2 measures self-reported levels of cognitive functioning. Raw scores are converted to standardized T-scores (mean of 50 with a standard deviation of 10). Increase in T-scores from baseline indicates improvement in everyday cognitive functioning.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 weeks

T-scores (mean of 50 with a standard deviation of 10) of executive function tests (i.e., Stroop, F-A-S letter fluency, and Trail Making B tests) were averaged to obtain a composite executive function score for each subject. Higher scores indicate better executive function.
