There have been growing interest in identifying Parkinson's disease (PD) patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) which is susceptible to progress to PD dementia(PDD). PD-MCI is known to significantly correlates with low cerebrospinal beta-amyloid 1-42 and 1-40 levels, in which suggest the existence of something common with Alzheimer's dementia. PDD have showed more cholinergic deficits than Alzheimer's dementia and responds to donepezil. The investigators assume that PD-MCI patients also have cholinergic deficits. Donepezil improves cognition, and seems to be well tolerated and not to worsen parkinsonism in patients with cognitive impairment. Donepezil produced similar improvements in cognition and behaviour in DLB and PDD. This supports the hypothesis that the two disorders are closely related clinically and neurobiologically. Larger scale, placebo controlled clinical trials are needed to provide an evidence base to guide the clinical use of cholinesterase inhibitors in Lewy body disease.
It is believed that earlier intervention, later appearance of dementia should be needed to lower the socioeconomic costs and to improve the quality of life on patients and caregivers. The investigators anticipate that donepezil may delay the development of dementia in patients with PD-MCI.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Donepezil group | Experimental | Donepezil is started in 5mg for 8 weeks followed by dose escalation to 10mg and then maintained for 40 weeks. Participants who are not tolerable to dose of 10mg due to any issues of adverse effects would be maintained with donepezil 5mg exclusively in remained period. |
|
| control group | No Intervention | No administration of any therapeutic medications for dementia including cholinesterase inhibitor or NMDA receptor blocking agents. Standard treatment protocol of Parkinson's disease with mild cognitive impairment would be fulfilled including dopaminergic or nondopaminergic medications as well as nootropic drugs. |
