Evidence of Neuroplasticity After Performing a Cognitive Task in Idiopathic Parkinson's Disease Patients

NCT02494908 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 80

Last updated 2015-07-10

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

As seen in previous studies Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) MRI is able to detect very subtle changes in brain tissue even after a very short timescale of hours resulting from performing a cognitive task and learning, We wish to explore and compare those changes to patients with idiopathic PD (IPD) and see if there are changes in the learning process and can we detect them using widely available noninvasive techniques such as MRI.
