Neural Correlates of Cognition in Parkinson's Disease
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Computer task assessing cognition, Impulsive-Compulsive Disorders in Parkinson's Disease, and 1 other intervention for Parkinson Disease. Completed, enrolled 64 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Cognitive impairment in Parkinson's disease (PD) has far-reaching effects on both motor outcomes and quality of life in PD patients. Furthermore, deep brain stimulation (DBS), now an evidence-based treatment for certain cases of PD, has the risk of causing deficits in multiple areas of cognition. As such, the purpose of this study is to understand the neuroanatomical and neurophysiologic basis for impaired cognition in PD. The aim is to identify neural correlates of cognition by measuring brain signal activity while PD patients are engaged in cognition on a computer.
