Conclusion: Whilst nonpharmacological trials for cognitive impairment in PD have shown promise, we found no evidence of effectiveness on HrQoL, function or wellbeing. However, this is based on very low-quality evidence from a small number of diverse studies, not powered for these outcomes. Feasibility of a range of interventions has been demonstrated in both PD-mild cognitive impairment and PD-dementia. There is a need for more robust, adequately powered studies.
