| چکیده انگلیسی مقاله |
Purpose: Parkinson's disease is a prevalent neurodegenerative illness of the central nervous system that caused significant disability. Neurological and memory impairments are hallmarks of dementia, which has significant therapeutic implications for patients with Parkinson's disease and is associated with elevated mortality. Non-motor symptoms, in addition to the traditional motor symptoms, were commonly acknowledged components of the clinical picture. Cognitive decline including problems with memory and attention was a crucial facet of the disease since it adds a great deal of burden to both the patient and caretakers. So, the purpose of the study is to find the Effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Aerobic exercise on attention and memory in parkinson’s disease dementia: A Pilot Study
Methods: A pilot study was conducted with 30 patients diagnosed with Parkinson's disease dementia (PDD), who had mild to moderate impairments in cognitive functions such as attention and memory. The participants were randomly divided into two groups and the study was conducted in a private setting. Group A (n=15) received cognitive behavioral therapy and group B (n=15) received aerobic exercise for 6 weeks daily for 30 minutes. Parkinson’s disease-Cognitive Rating Scale and Mini Mental State examination was used as an outcome measures.
Results: Cognitive behavioral therapy demonstrated a significantly greater improvement in cognitive functions compared to aerobic exercise (P<0.001) using paired and unpaired test.
Conclusion: The study concluded that cognitive behavioral therapy significantly outperforms aerobic exercise in enhancing attention and memory in dementia associated with Parkinson's disease. These findings highlight cognitive behavioral technique effectiveness as a key therapeutic intervention for improving cognitive function in this population. |
