In a nutshell This study investigated the effectiveness and safety of safinamide (Xadago) in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and wearing-OFF symptoms. Researchers suggested that safinamide improved OFF symptoms in these patients. Some background PD is a chronic disease that affects the brain. Over time, brain cells lose their abilities to...

In a nutshell This study investigated the effects of malnutrition in elderly patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Researchers suggested that patients with more advanced PD are more likely to be malnourished. Some background PD is a chronic disease that affects the brain cells. These cells lose their ability to control body functions which...

In a nutshell This study investigated whether sensory feedback (SF) improves anxiety symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Researchers suggested that SF significantly improves anxiety outcomes in these patients. Some background Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic condition that affects the brain cells. These cells lose their...
Read MoreIn a nutshell This study investigated the effect of non-medication treatments for depression in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Researchers suggested that repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) improves depression in these patients. Some background Parkinson's disease (PD) affects brain cells. These cells are responsible...

In a nutshell This study reviewed the impact of deep brain stimulation (DBS) on sleep in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Researchers suggested that DBS improves sleep in patients with PD. Some background PD is a chronic disease that affects brain cells. These cells lose their ability to control body functions causing physical and...
Read MoreIn a nutshell This study investigated if guided internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (ICBT) improves the treatment outcomes of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Researchers suggested that ICBT as an addition to the standard treatment improved the outcomes of some of these patients. Some background PD is a chronic condition...

In a nutshell This study investigated whether treadmill training (TT) combined with virtual reality (VR) improves freezing of gait (FOG) in patients with Parkinson's disease. Researchers suggested that this therapy improved postural instability in these patients. Some background Parkinson's disease is a chronic disease that affects brain...

In a nutshell This study investigated the most common factors for hospital admission in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Researchers suggested that factors such as infections or falls increase hospital stay among these patients. Some background PD is a chronic disease that affects brain cells. These cells control body functions and...

In a nutshell This study investigated whether high-intensity exercise rehabilitation (HIER) improved sleep in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Researchers suggested that HIER improves sleep in these patients. Some background Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive brain disorder. The brain cells lose their abilities to control...
Read MoreIn a nutshell This study reviewed the different physical therapies for gait complications in patients with Parkinson's disease in order to make new clinical guidelines. Researchers suggested that visual and auditory cueing (VAC) with treadmill training is a good option for these patients. Some background Parkinson's disease affects...
Read MoreIn a nutshell This study investigated the association between gastrointestinal symptoms and cognitive (thinking and reasoning) impairment (CI) in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Researchers suggested that gastrointestinal symptoms predicted CI outcomes in newly diagnosed patients with PD. Some background PD is a chronic disease...
