About this study
Parkinson's Disease (PD), first described by James Parkinson in 1817, is a progressive movement disorder that develops mainly as a result of the destruction of nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons. The aim of our study is to determine the effect of cognitive functions on upper extremity functionality in individuals with Parkinson's Disease.
Read the detailed description
Parkinson's Disease (PD), first described by James Parkinson in 1817, is a progressive movement disorder that develops mainly as a result of the destruction of nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons. Involvement of nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons is associated with the motor manifestations of the disease. The most common of these symptoms are; resting tremor, bradykinesia, rigidity and balance disorder. However, non-motor symptoms related to the involvement of nervous system structures other than the dopaminergic nigrostriatal system can be observed in PD. However, due to the predominance of motor symptoms in PD, it took many years to notice cognitive changes. Traditionally, cognitive impairments in PD have been expected to occur in the advanced stages of the disease. However, cognitive impairments in the early stages are reported in approximately 30-35% of patients. Cognitive dysfunction is defined in PD, ranging from mild impairments in certain cognitive domains to severe dementia. Cognitive impairment primarily affects executive and visuospatial functions, and memory is secondarily affected.
Executive functions are higher cognitive processes that use and modify information from many cortical sensory systems in the fore and hindbrain areas to modulate and teach behavior. The frontal cortex, especially the prefrontal cortex and its striatal connections are very important neuroanatomical regions for executive functions. The relationship between the effects of cognition and motor performance and parameters in groups such as the elderly, PD and Alzheimer's patients in which these centers are affected has been an issue that has attracted the attention of many researchers. Most of the studies have focused on the lower extremity performance of cognition. However , it has been reported that cognition has positive effects on upper extremity performance and early acquired upper extremity skills have positive effects on cognitive performance .
The aim of our study is to determine the effect of cognitive functions on upper extremity functionality in individuals with Parkinson's Disease.

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 May 2023.
