description This research examined mild cognitive impairment in Parkinson’s Disease (PD-MCI) and the therapeutic potential of nonpharmacological interventions (e.g., cognitive training and transcranial direct current stimulation) for improving cognition, activities of daily living, and quality of life for people with PD-MCI. The results from this research suggest that cognitive training, tDCS, and cognitive training combined with tDCS may involve stimulation and compensation-focussed strategies that improve cognition, activities of daily living, and quality of life in PD-MCI.
