AbstractObjectiveThe aim of this study was to perform a quantitative analysis to evaluate the efficacy of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) on non-motor symptoms and its impact on quality of life (QOL) in Parkinson’s disease (PD).MethodsWe searched for randomized controlled trials in three electronic databases. Twelve studies, including 358 patients with PD, met the inclusion criteria. We determined the pooled efficacy by standard mean differences and 95% confidence intervals, using I2 to reveal heterogeneity.ResultsThe result showed CBT had a significant effect on depression [-0.94 (95% CI, -1.25 to -0.64, P < 0.001)] and anxiety [-0.78 (95% CI, -1.05 to -0.50, P < 0.001)]. Moderate effect sizes were noted with stress [-0.60 (95% CI, -1.06 to -0.14, P = 0.01)] and sleep disorders [-0.44 (95% CI, -0.74 to -0.15, P = 0.003)]. There was no evident impact of CBT on fatigue or QOL. We found an intervention period > 8 weeks was advantageous compared with < 8 weeks, and CBT intervention was more effective than CBT developmental therapy.ConclusionWe found that CBT in patients with PD was an efficacious therapy for some non-motor symptoms in PD, but not efficacious for fatigue and QOL. These results suggest that CBT results in significant improvement in PD and should be used as a conventional clinical intervention.

Objective. Parkinson’s disease adversely affects function and quality of life, leading to increased mortality. The practice of Tai Chi has been associated with multifaceted improvements in health-related fitness. Considering the limited number of clinical studies included in previous reviews, inconsistent methodological quality, and inconclusive results, this meta-analysis aims to assess the effects of Tai Chi in patients with Parkinson’s disease. Method. Four English language databases and four Chinese databases were systematically searched for existing randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of Tai Chi in Parkinson’s disease from database inception through August 1, 2020. Methodological quality was appraised with the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool. A meta-analysis of comparative effects was performed using the Review Manager v.5.3 software. Results. Seventeen published RCTs totaling 951 subjects were included. Results showed that Tai Chi has a statistically significant effect on the outcomes of gait velocity, unified Parkinson’s disease rating scale (UPDRS) motor score, activities-specific balance confidence (ABC) score, and Berg Balance Scale (BBS). The effects on the Timed Up and Go Test (TUGT) and Parkinson’s Disease Questionnaire-39 (PDQ-39) were not statistically significant. Conclusions. This systematic review and meta-analysis of Parkinson’s disease and Tai Chi suggests Tai Chi is a relatively safe activity that can result in gains in general motor function and improve bradykinesia and balance. It has no statistically significant advantage for quality of life and functional mobility. Further randomized trials with larger sample sizes and of higher methodological quality are needed to confirm these results and to assess the feasibility of Tai Chi intervention for potential different clinical applications.

Introduction: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disease involving a progressive alteration of the motor and non-motor function. PD influences the patient's daily living and reduces participation and quality of life in all phases of the disease. Early physical exercise can mitigate the effects of symptoms but access to specialist care is difficult. With current technological progress, telemedicine, and telerehabilitation is now a viable option for managing patients, although few studies have investigated the use of telerehabilitation in PD. In this systematic review, was investigated whether telerehabilitation leads to improvements in global or specific motor tasks (gait and balance, hand function) and non-motor dysfunction (motor speech disorder, dysphagia). The impact of TR on quality of life and patient satisfaction, were also assessed. The usage of telerehabilitation technologies in the management of cognitive impairment was not addressed.Method: An electronic database search was performed using the following databases: PubMed/MEDLINE, COCHRANE Library, PEDro, and SCOPUS for data published between January 2005 and December 2019 on the effects of telerehabilitation systems in managing motor and non-motor symptoms. This systematic review was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA guideline and was registered in the PROSPERO database (CRD42020141300).Results: A total of 15 articles involving 421 patients affected by PD were analyzed. The articles were divided into two categories based on their topic of interest or outcome. The first category consisted of the effects of telerehabilitation on gait and balance (3), dexterity of the upper limbs (3), and bradykinesia (0); the second category regarded non-motor symptoms such as speech disorders (8) and dysphagia (0). Quality of life (7) and patient satisfaction (8) following telerehabilitation programs were also analyzed, as well as feasibility and costs.Conclusion: Telerehabilitation is feasible in people affected by PD. Our analysis of the available data highlighted that telerehabilitation systems are effective in maintaining and/or improving some clinical and non-clinical aspects of PD (balance and gait, speech and voice, quality of life, patient satisfaction).Systematic Review Registration:https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/, identifier: CRD42020141300.

Background and Purpose. The manifestations of motor and nonmotor dysfunctions in Parkinson’s disease (PD), which are intimately connected, have been shown to reduce quality of life (QoL). It has been demonstrated that yoga could benefit PD patients. However, there was no consensus on the impact of yoga on PD. This meta-analysis is aimed at investigating the effects of yoga intervention on motor function, nonmotor function, and QoL in patients with PD. Methods. A meta-analysis was conducted by systematically searching PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases till August 2020 for studies published in English. The reference lists of eligible studies were also searched. The motor symptoms (UPDRS-Part III), balance function (BBS and BESTest), functional mobility (TUG), anxiety (HADS and BAI), depression (HADS and BDI), and the quality of life (PDQ-39 and PDQ-8) were the primary evaluation indexes. Results. Ten studies including 359 participants were included in this meta-analysis. The pooled results showed significant difference between the yoga training group and the control group. Patients in the yoga training group had better functional outcomes in terms of motor status ( MD = − 5.64 ; 95% CI, -8.57 to -2.7), balance function ( SMD = 0.42 ; 95% CI, 0.08 to 0.77), functional mobility ( MD = − 1.71 ; 95% CI, -2.58 to -0.84), anxiety scale scores ( SMD = − 0.72 ; 95% CI, -1.01 to -0.43), depression scale scores ( SMD = − 0.92 ; 95% CI, -1.22 to -0.62), and QoL ( SMD = − 0.54 ; 95% CI, -0.97 to -0.11). Conclusion. Our pooled results showed the benefits of yoga in improving motor function, balance, functional mobility, reducing anxiety and depression, and increasing QoL in PD patients.
