ListOutcomeTime frameDescriptionSource
PrimaryMean Reaction Time for Computerized Color Naming Stroop Task2 days
The Stroop Color and Word Test (SCWT) is a neuropsychological test extensively used to assess the ability to inhibit cognitive interference that occurs when the processing of a specific stimulus feature impedes the simultaneous processing of a second stimulus attribute, well-known as the Stroop Effect.

SecondaryNumber of Participants With Worsening Depression Using Beck's Depression Index2 days
Questionnaire with numerical score indicating level of depression. Individual scale items are scored on a 4-point continuum (0=least, 3=most), with a total summed score range of 0-63. Higher scores indicate greater depressive severity.
ClinicalTrials.gov
SecondaryNumber of Participants Showing Motor Worsening Using the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS-III)2 days
The UPDRS scale is a rating tool used to gauge the course of Parkinson's disease in patients and consists of the following five segments: 1) Mentation, Behavior, and Mood, 2) ADL, 3) Motor sections, 4) Modified Hoehn and Yahr Scale, and 5) Schwab and England ADL scale.
