Abstract:

Cognitive rehabilitation is a potential and promising treatment for cognitive impairment in Parkinson’s disease (PD) that has shown efficacy in diverse studies. In addition, some few studies have found brain changes after cognitive rehabilitation in PD, which supports the existence of brain plasticity associated to cognitive training in a degenerative disease. In this perspective article authors will discuss current knowledge regarding the efficacy of cognitive interventions in PD and highlight some of the following steps that should be carried out to obtain a complete picture of the efficacy of cognitive rehabilitation in PD.
