Idiopathic Parkinson's Disease: Interest of an Early Group-Based Cognitive Rehabilitation Program (LIFECOG-PD)

This study tests a group-based cognitive rehabilitation program for people with Parkinson's disease who have mild memory or thinking complaints. Seven 90-minute sessions teach practical strategies to preserve daily function. It's an early-stage feasibility study, not a drug trial — the goal is to see if the program is workable and helpful, not yet proven effective.
