Evaluation of Computer-Based Cognitive Training on Mild Cognitive Impairment in Parkinson’s Disease (PD-MCI): Α Review

Topic: Risk, prevention and care in population studies
Of the 747 studies identified, 6 studies fulfilled the eligibility criterion for this review. Patients receiving CCTs showed significant improvements in global cognition and executive function, while mood was not significantly affected in most studies. CCT improves cognitive functions, particularly memory and executive abilities, but has little effect on mood. Although the results are encouraging, there are potential methodological biases that need to be considered.
Key findings
- Of the 747 studies identified, 6 studies fulfilled the eligibility criterion for this review.
- Patients receiving CCTs showed significant improvements in global cognition and executive function, while mood was not significantly affected in most studies.
- CCT improves cognitive functions, particularly memory and executive abilities, but has little effect on mood.
- Although the results are encouraging, there are potential methodological biases that need to be considered.
Why it matters
This review of 6 studies found that computer-based cognitive training improved global cognition and executive function in people with mild cognitive impairment in Parkinson's disease, but mood was mostly unaffected. The authors note potential methodological biases that need to be considered.
