Background: Continuous subcutaneous apomorphine infusion (CSAI) is increasingly used in Parkinson’s disease (PD), notably in patients contraindicated for subthalamic deep brain stimulation. Although it has been suggested that CSAI is safe regarding cognition, few studies have actually investigated its effect, especially on cognitive control which is a crucial process for goal-directed behavior.
