Abstract EN
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative condition, which compromises the motor functions and causes the alteration of some executive brain functions.
The presence of changes in cognitive symptoms in PD could be due to the procedure of deep brain stimulation (DBS).
We searched in several databases for studies that compared performance in executive function tests before and after the DBS procedure in PE and then performed a meta-analysis.
After the initial search, there were 15 articles that specifically evaluated the functions of verbal fluency, working memory, cognitive flexibility, abstract thinking, and inhibition.
It was found that there were differences in the evaluation of the cognitive functions in terms of the protocols, which generated heterogeneity in the results of the meta-analysis.
Likewise, a tendency to diminish functions like verbal fluency and inhibition was found, being this consistent with similar studies.
In the other functions evaluated, no difference was found between pre- and postsurgery scores.
Monitoring of this type of function is recommended after the procedure.
