LONG_ARTICLE = """"anxiety affects quality of life in those living |
|
with parkinson 's disease ( pd ) more so than |
|
overall cognitive status , motor deficits , apathy |
|
, and depression [ 13 ] . although anxiety and |
|
depression are often related and coexist in pd |
|
patients , recent research suggests that anxiety |
|
rather than depression is the most prominent and |
|
prevalent mood disorder in pd [ 5 , 6 ] . yet , |
|
our current understanding of anxiety and its |
|
impact on cognition in pd , as well as its neural |
|
basis and best treatment practices , remains |
|
meager and lags far behind that of depression . |
|
overall , neuropsychiatric symptoms in pd have |
|
been shown to be negatively associated with |
|
cognitive performance . for example , higher |
|
depression scores have been correlated with lower |
|
scores on the mini - mental state exam ( mmse ) [ |
|
8 , 9 ] as well as tests of memory and executive |
|
functions ( e.g. , attention ) [ 1014 ] . likewise |
|
, apathy and anhedonia in pd patients have been |
|
associated with executive dysfunction [ 10 , 1523 |
|
] . however , few studies have specifically |
|
investigated the relationship between anxiety and |
|
cognition in pd . one study showed a strong |
|
negative relationship between anxiety ( both state |
|
and trait ) and overall cognitive performance ( |
|
measured by the total of the repeatable battery |
|
for the assessment of neuropsychological status |
|
index ) within a sample of 27 pd patients . |
|
furthermore , trait anxiety was negatively |
|
associated with each of the cognitive domains |
|
assessed by the rbans ( i.e. , immediate memory , |
|
visuospatial construction , language , attention , |
|
and delayed memory ) . two further studies have |
|
examined whether anxiety differentially affects |
|
cognition in patients with left - sided dominant |
|
pd ( lpd ) versus right - sided dominant pd ( rpd |
|
) ; however , their findings were inconsistent . |
|
the first study found that working memory |
|
performance was worse in lpd patients with anxiety |
|
compared to rpd patients with anxiety , whereas |
|
the second study reported that , in lpd , apathy |
|
but not anxiety was associated with performance on |
|
nonverbally mediated executive functions and |
|
visuospatial tasks ( e.g. , tmt - b , wms - iii |
|
spatial span ) , while in rpd , anxiety but not |
|
apathy significantly correlated with performance |
|
on verbally mediated tasks ( e.g. , clock reading |
|
test and boston naming test ) . furthermore , |
|
anxiety was significantly correlated with |
|
neuropsychological measures of attention and |
|
executive and visuospatial functions . taken |
|
together , it is evident that there are limited |
|
and inconsistent findings describing the |
|
relationship between anxiety and cognition in pd |
|
and more specifically how anxiety might influence |
|
particular domains of cognition such as attention |
|
and memory and executive functioning . it is also |
|
striking that , to date , no study has examined |
|
the influence of anxiety on cognition in pd by |
|
directly comparing groups of pd patients with and |
|
without anxiety while excluding depression . given |
|
that research on healthy young adults suggests |
|
that anxiety reduces processing capacity and |
|
impairs processing efficiency , especially in the |
|
central executive and attentional systems of |
|
working memory [ 26 , 27 ] , we hypothesized that |
|
pd patients with anxiety would show impairments in |
|
attentional set - shifting and working memory |
|
compared to pd patients without anxiety . |
|
furthermore , since previous work , albeit limited |
|
, has focused on the influence of symptom |
|
laterality on anxiety and cognition , we also |
|
explored this relationship . seventeen pd patients |
|
with anxiety and thirty - three pd patients |
|
without anxiety were included in this study ( see |
|
table 1 ) . the cross - sectional data from these |
|
participants was taken from a patient database |
|
that has been compiled over the past 8 years ( |
|
since 2008 ) at the parkinson 's disease research |
|
clinic at the brain and mind centre , university |
|
of sydney . inclusion criteria involved a |
|
diagnosis of idiopathic pd according to the united |
|
kingdom parkinson 's disease society brain bank |
|
criteria and were confirmed by a neurologist ( |
|
sjgl ) . patients also had to have an adequate |
|
proficiency in english and have completed a full |
|
neuropsychological assessment . ten patients in |
|
this study ( 5 pd with anxiety ; 5 pd without |
|
anxiety ) were taking psychotropic drugs ( i.e. , |
|
benzodiazepine or selective serotonin reuptake |
|
inhibitor ) . patients were also excluded if they |
|
had other neurological disorders , psychiatric |
|
disorders other than affective disorders ( such as |
|
anxiety ) , or if they reported a score greater |
|
than six on the depression subscale of the |
|
hospital anxiety and depression scale ( hads ) . |
|
thus , all participants who scored within a |
|
depressed ( hads - d > 6 ) range were excluded |
|
from this study , in attempt to examine a refined |
|
sample of pd patients with and without anxiety in |
|
order to determine the independent effect of |
|
anxiety on cognition . this research was approved |
|
by the human research ethics committee of the |
|
university of sydney , and written informed |
|
consent was obtained from all participants . self |
|
- reported hads was used to assess anxiety in pd |
|
and has been previously shown to be a useful |
|
measure of clinical anxiety in pd . a cut - off |
|
score of > 8 on the anxiety subscale of the hads ( |
|
hads - a ) was used to identify pd cases with |
|
anxiety ( pda+ ) , while a cut - off score of < 6 |
|
on the hads - a was used to identify pd cases |
|
without anxiety ( pda ) . this criterion was more |
|
stringent than usual ( > 7 cut - off score ) , in |
|
effort to create distinct patient groups . the |
|
neurological evaluation rated participants |
|
according to hoehn and yahr ( h&y ) stages and |
|
assessed their motor symptoms using part iii of |
|
the revised mds task force unified parkinson 's |
|
disease rating scale ( updrs ) . in a similar way |
|
this was determined by calculating a total left |
|
and right score from rigidity items 3035 , |
|
voluntary movement items 3643 , and tremor items |
|
5057 from the mds - updrs part iii ( see table 1 ) |
|
. processing speed was assessed using the trail |
|
making test , part a ( tmt - a , z - score ) . |
|
attentional set - shifting was measured using the |
|
trail making test , part b ( tmt - b , z - score ) |
|
. working memory was assessed using the digit span |
|
forward and backward subtest of the wechsler |
|
memory scale - iii ( raw scores ) . language was |
|
assessed with semantic and phonemic verbal fluency |
|
via the controlled oral word associated test ( |
|
cowat animals and letters , z - score ) . the |
|
ability to retain learned verbal memory was |
|
assessed using the logical memory subtest from the |
|
wechsler memory scale - iii ( lm - i z - score , |
|
lm - ii z - score , % lm retention z - score ) . |
|
the mini - mental state examination ( mmse ) |
|
demographic , clinical , and neuropsychological |
|
variables were compared between the two groups |
|
with the independent t - test or mann whitney u |
|
test , depending on whether the variable met |
|
parametric assumptions . chi - square tests were |
|
used to examine gender and symptom laterality |
|
differences between groups . all analyses employed |
|
an alpha level of p < 0.05 and were two - tailed . |
|
spearman correlations were performed separately in |
|
each group to examine associations between anxiety |
|
and/or depression ratings and cognitive functions |
|
. as expected , the pda+ group reported |
|
significant greater levels of anxiety on the hads |
|
- a ( u = 0 , p < 0.001 ) and higher total score |
|
on the hads ( u = 1 , p < 0.001 ) compared to the |
|
pda group ( table 1 ) . groups were matched in age |
|
( t(48 ) = 1.31 , p = 0.20 ) , disease duration ( |
|
u = 259 , p = 0.66 ) , updrs - iii score ( u = |
|
250.5 , p = 0.65 ) , h&y ( u = 245 , p = 0.43 ) , |
|
ledd ( u = 159.5 , p = 0.80 ) , and depression ( |
|
hads - d ) ( u = 190.5 , p = 0.06 ) . additionally |
|
, all groups were matched in the distribution of |
|
gender ( = 0.098 , p = 0.75 ) and side - affected |
|
( = 0.765 , p = 0.38 ) . there were no group |
|
differences for tmt - a performance ( u = 256 , p |
|
= 0.62 ) ( table 2 ) ; however , the pda+ group |
|
had worse performance on the trail making test |
|
part b ( t(46 ) = 2.03 , p = 0.048 ) compared to |
|
the pda group ( figure 1 ) . the pda+ group also |
|
demonstrated significantly worse performance on |
|
the digit span forward subtest ( t(48 ) = 2.22 , p |
|
= 0.031 ) and backward subtest ( u = 190.5 , p = |
|
0.016 ) compared to the pda group ( figures 2(a ) |
|
and 2(b ) ) . neither semantic verbal fluency ( |
|
t(47 ) = 0.70 , p = 0.49 ) nor phonemic verbal |
|
fluency ( t(47 ) = 0.39 , p = 0.70 ) differed |
|
between groups . logical memory i immediate recall |
|
test ( u = 176 , p = 0.059 ) showed a trend that |
|
the pda+ group had worse new verbal learning and |
|
immediate recall abilities than the pda group . |
|
however , logical memory ii test performance ( u = |
|
219 , p = 0.204 ) and logical memory % retention ( |
|
u = 242.5 , p = 0.434 ) did not differ between |
|
groups . there were also no differences between |
|
groups in global cognition ( mmse ) ( u = 222.5 , |
|
p = 0.23 ) . participants were split into lpd and |
|
rpd , and then further group differences were |
|
examined between pda+ and pda. importantly , the |
|
groups remained matched in age , disease duration |
|
, updrs - iii , dde , h&y stage , and depression |
|
but remained significantly different on self - |
|
reported anxiety . lpda+ demonstrated worse |
|
performance on the digit span forward test ( t(19 |
|
) = 2.29 , p = 0.033 ) compared to lpda , whereas |
|
rpda+ demonstrated worse performance on the digit |
|
span backward test ( u = 36.5 , p = 0.006 ) , lm - |
|
i immediate recall ( u = 37.5 , p = 0.008 ) , and |
|
lm - ii ( u = 45.0 , p = 0.021 ) but not lm % |
|
retention ( u = 75.5 , p = 0.39 ) compared to |
|
rpda. this study is the first to directly compare |
|
cognition between pd patients with and without |
|
anxiety . the findings confirmed our hypothesis |
|
that anxiety negatively influences attentional set |
|
- shifting and working memory in pd . more |
|
specifically , we found that pd patients with |
|
anxiety were more impaired on the trail making |
|
test part b which assessed attentional set - |
|
shifting , on both digit span tests which assessed |
|
working memory and attention , and to a lesser |
|
extent on the logical memory test which assessed |
|
memory and new verbal learning compared to pd |
|
patients without anxiety . taken together , these |
|
findings suggest that anxiety in pd may reduce |
|
processing capacity and impair processing |
|
efficiency , especially in the central executive |
|
and attentional systems of working memory in a |
|
similar way as seen in young healthy adults [ 26 , |
|
27 ] . although the neurobiology of anxiety in pd |
|
remains unknown , many researchers have postulated |
|
that anxiety disorders are related to |
|
neurochemical changes that occur during the early |
|
, premotor stages of pd - related degeneration [ |
|
37 , 38 ] such as nigrostriatal dopamine depletion |
|
, as well as cell loss within serotonergic and |
|
noradrenergic brainstem nuclei ( i.e. , raphe |
|
nuclei and locus coeruleus , resp . , which |
|
provide massive inputs to corticolimbic regions ) |
|
. over time , chronic dysregulation of |
|
adrenocortical and catecholamine functions can |
|
lead to hippocampal damage as well as |
|
dysfunctional prefrontal neural circuitries [ 39 , |
|
40 ] , which play a key role in memory and |
|
attention . recent functional neuroimaging work |
|
has suggested that enhanced hippocampal activation |
|
during executive functioning and working memory |
|
tasks may represent compensatory processes for |
|
impaired frontostriatal functions in pd patients |
|
compared to controls . therefore , chronic stress |
|
from anxiety , for example , may disrupt |
|
compensatory processes in pd patients and explain |
|
the cognitive impairments specifically in working |
|
memory and attention seen in pd patients with |
|
anxiety . it has also been suggested that |
|
hyperactivation within the putamen may reflect a |
|
compensatory striatal mechanism to maintain normal |
|
working memory performance in pd patients ; |
|
however , losing this compensatory activation has |
|
been shown to contribute to poor working memory |
|
performance . anxiety in mild pd has been linked |
|
to reduced putamen dopamine uptake which becomes |
|
more extensive as the disease progresses . this |
|
further supports the notion that anxiety may |
|
disrupt compensatory striatal mechanisms as well , |
|
providing another possible explanation for the |
|
cognitive impairments observed in pd patients with |
|
anxiety in this study . noradrenergic and |
|
serotonergic systems should also be considered |
|
when trying to explain the mechanisms by which |
|
anxiety may influence cognition in pd . although |
|
these neurotransmitter systems are relatively |
|
understudied in pd cognition , treating the |
|
noradrenergic and serotonergic systems has shown |
|
beneficial effects on cognition in pd . selective |
|
serotonin reuptake inhibitor , citalopram , was |
|
shown to improve response inhibition deficits in |
|
pd , while noradrenaline reuptake blocker , |
|
atomoxetine , has been recently reported to have |
|
promising effects on cognition in pd [ 45 , 46 ] . |
|
overall , very few neuroimaging studies have been |
|
conducted in pd in order to understand the neural |
|
correlates of pd anxiety and its underlying neural |
|
pathology . future research should focus on |
|
relating anatomical changes and neurochemical |
|
changes to neural activation in order to gain a |
|
clearer understanding on how these pathologies |
|
affect anxiety in pd . to further understand how |
|
anxiety and cognitive dysfunction are related , |
|
future research should focus on using advanced |
|
structural and function imaging techniques to |
|
explain both cognitive and neural breakdowns that |
|
are associated with anxiety in pd patients . |
|
research has indicated that those with amnestic |
|
mild cognitive impairment who have more |
|
neuropsychiatric symptoms have a greater risk of |
|
developing dementia compared to those with fewer |
|
neuropsychiatric symptoms . future studies should |
|
also examine whether treating neuropsychiatric |
|
symptoms might impact the progression of cognitive |
|
decline and improve cognitive impairments in pd |
|
patients . previous studies have used pd symptom |
|
laterality as a window to infer asymmetrical |
|
dysfunction of neural circuits . for example , lpd |
|
patients have greater inferred right hemisphere |
|
pathology , whereas rpd patients have greater |
|
inferred left hemisphere pathology . thus , |
|
cognitive domains predominantly subserved by the |
|
left hemisphere ( e.g. , verbally mediated tasks |
|
of executive function and verbal memory ) might be |
|
hypothesized to be more affected in rpd than lpd ; |
|
however , this remains controversial . it has also |
|
been suggested that since anxiety is a common |
|
feature of left hemisphere involvement [ 48 , 49 ] |
|
, cognitive domains subserved by the left |
|
hemisphere may also be more strongly related to |
|
anxiety . results from this study showed selective |
|
verbal memory deficits in rpd patients with |
|
anxiety compared to rpd without anxiety , whereas |
|
lpd patients with anxiety had greater attentional |
|
/ working memory deficits compared to lpd without |
|
anxiety . although these results align with |
|
previous research , interpretations of these |
|
findings should be made with caution due to the |
|
small sample size in the lpd comparison |
|
specifically . recent work has suggested that the |
|
hads questionnaire may underestimate the burden of |
|
anxiety related symptomology and therefore be a |
|
less sensitive measure of anxiety in pd [ 30 , 50 |
|
] . in addition , our small sample size also |
|
limited the statistical power for detecting |
|
significant findings . based on these limitations |
|
, our findings are likely conservative and |
|
underrepresent the true impact anxiety has on |
|
cognition in pd . additionally , the current study |
|
employed a very brief neuropsychological |
|
assessment including one or two tests for each |
|
cognitive domain . future studies are encouraged |
|
to collect a more complex and comprehensive |
|
battery from a larger sample of pd participants in |
|
order to better understand the role anxiety plays |
|
on cognition in pd . another limitation of this |
|
study was the absence of diagnostic interviews to |
|
characterize participants ' psychiatric symptoms |
|
and specify the type of anxiety disorders included |
|
in this study . future studies should perform |
|
diagnostic interviews with participants ( e.g. , |
|
using dsm - v criteria ) rather than relying on |
|
self - reported measures to group participants , |
|
in order to better understand whether the type of |
|
anxiety disorder ( e.g. , social anxiety , phobias |
|
, panic disorders , and generalized anxiety ) |
|
influences cognitive performance differently in pd |
|
. one advantage the hads questionnaire provided |
|
over other anxiety scales was that it assessed |
|
both anxiety and depression simultaneously and |
|
allowed us to control for coexisting depression . |
|
although there was a trend that the pda+ group |
|
self - reported higher levels of depression than |
|
the pda group , all participants included in the |
|
study scored < 6 on the depression subscale of the |
|
hads . controlling for depression while assessing |
|
anxiety has been identified as a key shortcoming |
|
in the majority of recent work . considering many |
|
previous studies have investigated the influence |
|
of depression on cognition in pd without |
|
accounting for the presence of anxiety and the |
|
inconsistent findings reported to date , we |
|
recommend that future research should try to |
|
disentangle the influence of anxiety versus |
|
depression on cognitive impairments in pd . |
|
considering the growing number of clinical trials |
|
for treating depression , there are few if any for |
|
the treatment of anxiety in pd . anxiety is a key |
|
contributor to decreased quality of life in pd and |
|
greatly requires better treatment options . |
|
moreover , anxiety has been suggested to play a |
|
key role in freezing of gait ( fog ) , which is |
|
also related to attentional set - shifting [ 52 , |
|
53 ] . future research should examine the link |
|
between anxiety , set - shifting , and fog , in |
|
order to determine whether treating anxiety might |
|
be a potential therapy for improving fog .""" |
