Detailed Description

Eligible study participants will be randomly assigned to one of two interventions: 1) Cognitive Rehabilitation (Cognitive Symptom Management and Rehabilitation Therapy for Parkinson's disease; CogSMART-PD) or 2) Supportive Care. Interventions are held within a group format consisting of approximately 5 individuals with PD. Groups will meet once per week for 1.5 hours over a 10-week period. Neuropsychological testing will be administered pre- and post-intervention as well as 6- and 12-months after the intervention.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-IV (WAIS-IV) Matrix Reasoning Test Total Scaled Score
Time Frame: Baseline and Week 10
The WAIS-IV Matrix Reasoning test is a validated, objective measure of executive function. Scaled scores range from 0 to 26. Higher scores indicate better executive function. Scores reported below are change scores.
Baseline and Week 10

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Delis-Kaplan Executive Functioning System (D-KEFS): 20 Questions Test Total Questions Asked Scaled Score
Time Frame: Baseline and Week 10
D-KEFS: 20 Questions Test measures executive function. The range of scores is 1 - 19 with a higher score representing better executive function. Scores reported below are change scores.
Baseline and Week 10
Informant Questionnaire on Cognitive Decline in the Elderly-Self Report (IQCODE-SR) Total Score
Time Frame: Baseline and Week 10
The measure examines self-reported change in cognition over time. Scores range from 16 - 80, with higher scores indicating worse functioning (or more cognitive decline). Scores reported below are change scores.
Baseline and Week 10
Cognitive Problems and Strategies Assessment (CPSA) Memory Strategies Use Score
Time Frame: Baseline and Week 10
CPSA measures cognitive problems and memory strategy use. The range for scores is 0 - 90, with higher scores indicating higher frequency of using memory and thinking strategies. Scores reported below are change scores.
Baseline and Week 10
Informant Questionnaire on Cognitive Decline in the Elderly (IQCODE) Total Score
Time Frame: Baseline and Week 10
IQCODE is a self-report questionnaire for caregivers that measures possible dementia and cognitive decline of the patient. The range for scores is 26 - 130, with higher score representing worse functioning/higher cognitive decline in the patient. Scores reported below are change scores.
Baseline and Week 10
Memory for Intention Test (MIST) Total Score
Time Frame: Baseline and Week 10
MIST measures prospective memory. The range for scores is 0 - 48 with a higher score representing better prospective memory. Scores reported below are change score.
Baseline and Week 10
World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL)-BREF Psychological Domain Transformed Score
Time Frame: Baseline and Week 10
WHOQOL-BREF is a self-reported measure of quality of life. Transformed score for the psychological domain ranges from 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate better quality of life. Scores reported below are change scores.
Baseline and Week 10
Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire-39 (PDQ-39) Total Score
Time Frame: Baseline and Week 10
The PDQ-39 is a patient-reported measure of health and quality life over a 1-month period in individuals with Parkinson's disease. Total scores range from 0 to 156. Higher scores indicate poorer quality of life. Scores reported below are change scores.
Baseline and Week 10
Neuropsychiatric Inventory-Questionnaire (NPI-Q) Total Month Score
Time Frame: Baseline and Week 10
The NPI-Q is a self-reported measure of neuropsychiatric symptoms over a 1 month period and 1 year period. Total month scores range from 0 to 156. Higher scores indicate greater severity of neuropsychiatric symptoms. Scores reported below are change scores.
Baseline and Week 10
