age and education of the patient: Digit Span for attention, Letter Fluency test
for executive function, Logical Memory Sub-scale from the Wechsler Memory
Scale-Revised and Line Orientation Test for visuo-spatial function.

4. Patients with a Hoehn and Yahr stage I-III when "on"

5. Literate patients who are able to follow test instructions

Health Condition(s) or Problem(s) studied
Parkinson's Disease
Intervention(s)
Drug: rasagiline

Primary Outcome(s)
The primary outcome measure will be the total cognitive score. This will be calculated by adding the four cognitive sub-scores: attention, executive function, memory and visuo-spatial function. [Time Frame: 30 months]
Secondary Outcome(s)
The four cognitive sub-scores as well as individual tests scores will be analyzed separately. The changes from baseline to the end of the study in the GDS, STAS and UPDRS part III scales will be analyzed. [Time Frame: 3 months]
