People living with PSP often suffer from thinking and memory problems, and can lead to dementia. Currently, cognitive function is measured using conventional “pen and paper” tests. These tests are time consuming, need expert supervision and do not always detect changes over follow up.
The goal of this study is to assess whether a new, brief computerised cognitive test would be more effective. The testing is done at home, and may allow researchers to better characterise the individual cognitive trajectories in people living with PSP. The researchers hope that this testing may be used in future research and clinical trials evaluating the efficacy of investigational treatments.
