Summary

This trial investigates whether sensory-motor hand rehabilitation can improve cognitive functions like memory, attention, and reaction time in people with Parkinson's disease. Thirty-two participants with mild cognitive impairment will be randomly assigned to either hand rehabilitation plus cognitive training or cognitive training alone. The study measures changes in thinking skills, hand function, and pain over one month after treatment.

Active substance
hand sensorimotor rehabilitation
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple hand exercise program that also boosts thinking skills in Parkinson's disease.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 32 participants, so results may not apply widely. The effect on cognition may be modest or absent.
