HCs, healthy controls; PD, Parkinson’s disease; LEDD, levodopa equivalent daily dose; MoCA, Montreal cognitive assessment; HAMA, Hamilton anxiety scale; HAMD, Hamilton depression scale; UPDRS-III, the unified Parkinson’s disease rating scale part-III; PDQ-39, the 39-item Parkinson’s disease questionnaire; VF, verbal fluency; BJLOT, Benton judgment of line orientation test; TMT-A/B, trail making test part A/B; NA, not applicable; DBS, deep brain stimulation; SD, standard deviation. a value was obtained by a two-sample t-test between PD and HCs groups. b value was obtained by a chi-square test between PD and HCs groups. cvalue was obtained by a repeated measures ANOVA test in three sessions. .
