Long-term effects of cognitive training in Parkinson's disease: A randomized, controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Computerized cognitive training may be promising to improve cognitive impairment in Parkinson's disease and has even been suggested to delay cognitive decline. However, evidence to date is limited. The aim of this study was to assess the durability of eight-week cognitive training effects at up to two years follow-up.

Methods

Participants underwent an eight-week home-based intervention of either adaptive, computerized cognitive training with BrainGymmer (n = 68) or an active control (n = 68). They underwent extensive neuropsychological asse
