Effectiveness of combined cognitive and exercise training versus single exercise training on cognition in people with Parkinson’s disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

Key Points

• To evaluate the effectiveness of combined cognitive and exercise training compared to exercise alone on cognitive function in Parkinson's disease.
• Conducted a systematic review of randomized controlled trials
• Analyzed outcomes related to cognition for different training formats
• Compared the effects of combined and single training interventions
• Combined cognitive and exercise training improved global cognitive function more than exercise alone
• Effects were consistent regardless of the specific intervention format
• Overall findings support the integration of cognitive and exercise training for better outcomes in Parkinson’s disease
