The current study adresses the effect of two different computer-based cognitive trianing programmes on attention and executive functions in patients with Parkinson's disease.
The current study adresses the effect of two different computer-based cognitive training programmes (Brain+ Evolution and Scientific Brain Training PRO) on attention and executive functions in patients with Parkinson's disease. The patients are assigned to one of three groups. Two training groups with each their programme, and a control Group. The training groups will train at home for 8 weeks with follow-ups every second week. The control group will not train at home, but will also receive a follow-up with computer-based stimuli (computerized Card game) every second week, to minimize the possibility that a possible effect is due to the follow-up's with a professional, and not due to the computer training at home.
Exclusion Criteria:
Intervention: Training with computer-based programme Brain+ Evolution for 8 weeks, receiving follow-ups every second week. Computer-based cognitive training.
Device: Computer-based cognitive training
Intervention: Training with computer-based programme Scientific Brain Training PRO for 8 weeks, receiving follow-ups every second week. Computer-based cognitive training.
Device: Computer-based cognitive training
This Group receives no intervention except for the same amount of follow-ups as the two training Groups. This is done to ensure that an effect of training is not aqtually due to the follow-up's with a professional.
Computer-based cognitive programmes are computer programmes designed as games with the aim of training patients in certain cognitive domains.
