Abstract

Aim. To assess the level of cognitive impairment and its dynamics over 6 months in Parkinson’s disease.

Materials and methods. The study involved 31 people with Parkinson’s disease, including 15 women and 16 men. The average age of patients at the beginning of the study was 65.1 (m = 0.54). The duration of the disease varied from 3 to 8 years. The Mini-mental State Examination (MMSE) and the Mattis dementia scale were used to study cognitive functions. The Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) was used to assess attention. The study of speech was conducted using the free and directed association test, and visual-spatial functions were studied using the “drawing clock” test. The visual memory test from the SKT test battery was used to assess memory, and affective disorders were studied using the Beck Depression Scale. Depression was diagnosed according to the ICD-10 criteria. The vegetative disorders were assessed using the autonomic disorders scale. The results obtained were processed using mathematical statistics methods.

Results. The data obtained in the course of the study allow us to state the stability in disturbance of the vegetative function. The affective symptoms in patients with mild cognitive impairment were improved. In patients with moderate and severe cognitive impairment, affective symptoms remained stable. There were also no significant changes in the Mattis dementia scale, the Beck Depression Scale, the coding test, visual-spatial functions, grammatical associations, semantics and phonetics.

Conclusions. The studies showed that after the introduction of a comprehensive rehabilitation program for 6 months there were minor improvements indicating the need for further improvement and implementation.
