The Efficacy of a Remote Cognitive Remediation Therapy (CRT) Program on Parkinson's Disease

Purpose/Goal: To determine if a remote computerized cognitive remediation program (CRT) can stabilize or improve cognitive functioning in a group of patients from the New York Institute of Technology Academic Health Care Center with Parkinson's disease (PD) after three months of intervention. Hypothesis: Patients with PD who present with current cognitive deficits will show improvement in such deficits after three months of participation in a remotely supervised structured Cognitive Remediation Therapy Program (CRT) compared to control subjects with PD who receive treatment as usual. Research design: Pilot study. Prospective randomized treatment and control comparison pre-post study.
