Thinking tests for earlier dementia detection in Parkinson's
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at whether special thinking and memory tests can help find dementia earlier in people with Parkinson's disease. Participating may lead to earlier help and better care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been living with idiopathic Parkinson's disease (cause unknown) for at least one year.
- You are able to communicate clearly enough to participate in the study.
- You have not had a stroke or other neurological condition besides Parkinson's.

This study tests online “thinking” (cognitive) abilities in people with Parkinson’s disease. It may help researchers better understand how thinking changes over time and how tests can be done from home.
This study tests a program to help people with Parkinson's disease who are noticing problems with their memory or thinking. The program teaches strategies to manage daily thinking challenges.
This study tests a new way to find early signs of memory or thinking problems in older adults. It could help identify people who might benefit from earlier support or treatment.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation approach (tDCS) can improve thinking and memory in people with Parkinson’s disease. You may be invited because your Parkinson’s is typical and your memory testing shows you do not have dementia.
This study tests whether a thinking-and-memory training program (cognitive stimulation) can help people with Parkinson's who have mild memory or thinking problems, but not dementia. You must not have had deep brain stimulation surgery.
This trial tests whether a type of noninvasive brain stimulation (tDCS) can improve thinking and memory in people with mild cognitive impairment in Parkinson’s disease. You may be eligible if you have these diagnoses, are on stable medications, and can safely complete brain scan/testing.
