Randomized trial of cognitive speed of processing training in Parkinson disease

Cognitive training in Parkinson disease

Objective: To quantify the effects of cognitive training (CT) on cognitive and behavioral outcome measures in patients with Parkinson disease (PD). Methods: We systematically searched 5 databases for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of CT in patients with PD reporting cognitive or behavioral outcomes. Efficacy was measured as standardized mean difference (Hedges g) of post-training change. R...

Higher-order cognitive training effects on processing speed–related neural activity: a randomized trial

Higher-order cognitive training has shown to enhance performance in older adults, but the neural mechanisms underlying performance enhancement have yet to be fully disambiguated. This randomized trial examined changes in processing speed and processing speed-related neural activity in older participants (57-71 years of age) who underwent cognitive training (CT, N = 12) compared with wait-listed...

Feeling the need ... the need for speed (of processing training) in Parkinson disease.

A Randomized Controlled Trial of Cognitive Training Using a Visual Speed of Processing Intervention in Middle Aged and Older Adults

BACKGROUND Age-related cognitive decline is common and may lead to substantial difficulties and disabilities in everyday life. We hypothesized that 10 hours of visual speed of processing training would prevent age-related declines and potentially improve cognitive processing speed. METHODS Within two age bands (50-64 and ≥ 65) 681 patients were randomized to (a) three computerized visual spee...

randomized controlled trial study about compare of post operative complications after milligan morgan versus submucosal hemorrhoidectomy in patients that had hemorrhoidectomy in imam hossein hospital of shahrood in 1389-90

مقدمه: هموروئید یکی از شایعترین بیماریهای جراحی ناحیه آنورکتال است که با درد و خونریزی بروز می کند. کاهش بروز عوارض بعد از عمل علاوه بر افزایش رضایت بیمار منجر به کاهش مدت بستری و کاهش بار تحمیلی این عوارض بر روی اقتصاد می گردد. مطالعه حاضر،مقایسه ای از لحاظ عوارض بعد از عمل در دو روش جراحی هموروئید به صورت ساب موکوزال در طی دوره دو ماهه بعد از عمل که بیماران مورد پیگیری قرار می گیرند انجام می ...
