简要总结
This study investigates the impact of an 8-week ballet-based dance therapy on people with Parkinson's disease. It aims to assess the effect of ballet on motor and non-motor symptoms, such as balance, cognitive function, functional capacity, and quality of life. The study will provide insights into the potential of ballet therapy as an effective, non-pharmacological treatment for Parkinson's disease.
详细描述
This clinical trial aims to evaluate the effects of an 8-week ballet-based dance therapy on individuals with Parkinson's disease. The intervention will target motor and non-motor symptoms, including functional capacity, balance, cognitive function, and quality of life. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the intervention group or a control group. The intervention group will engage in structured ballet classes, while the control group will receive standard care. Assessments will include measures of respiratory function, body composition, muscle strength, and balance, with evaluations conducted before and after the intervention. The goal is to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of ballet as a therapeutic approach to improve both physical and mental well-being in people with Parkinson's disease.

研究组 & 干预措施
Ballet-Based Dance Therapy
Participants in this arm will engage in an 8-week ballet-based dance therapy program, specifically designed to enhance functional capacity, balance, peripheral muscle strength, cognitive function, and overall quality of life. The program will be conducted twice a week, with each session lasting approximately 60 minutes. The dance exercises will be tailored to meet the needs of individuals with Parkinson's disease, focusing on improving motor skills, flexibility, and coordination. The primary goal is to assess the impact of ballet-based exercises on various parameters such as respiratory function, balance, and muscle strength.
干预措施: Ballet-Based Dance Therapy (Behavioral)
Standard Care with Exercise Counseling
Participants in this arm will continue with their standard medical treatment for Parkinson's disease, including pharmacological management and routine care. Additionally, they will receive a one-time exercise counseling session delivered by a physiotherapist and an informational brochure that includes recommendations for general, unsupervised home-based exercises suitable for Parkinson's patients. No structured or supervised exercise sessions will be provided.
干预措施: Standard Care with Exercise Counseling (Other)
结局指标
主要结局
Functional Capacity
时间窗: At baseline and at week 9 (after 8 weeks of intervention)
Functional capacity will be assessed using the Six-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) according to American Thoracic Society (ATS) guidelines. The total distance walked will be recorded.
Forced Vital Capacity (FVC)
时间窗: At baseline and at week 9 (after 8 weeks of intervention)
FVC will be assessed using spirometry and reported in liters (L). FVC will be measured according to the guidelines of the American Thoracic Society (ATS) and the European Respiratory Society (ERS).
Tiffeneau Index (FEV₁/FVC Ratio)
时间窗: At baseline and at week 9 (after 8 weeks of intervention)
The ratio of FEV₁ to FVC will be calculated using spirometry and reported as a percentage (%).
Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV₁)
时间窗: At baseline and at week 9 (after 8 weeks of intervention)
FEV₁ will be assessed using spirometry and reported in liters (L). FEV1 will be measured according to the guidelines of the American Thoracic Society (ATS) and the European Respiratory Society (ERS).
Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF)
时间窗: At baseline and at week 9 (after 8 weeks of intervention)
PEF will be assessed using spirometry and reported in liters per minute (L/min). PEF will be measured according to the guidelines of the American Thoracic Society (ATS) and the European Respiratory Society (ERS).
Forced Expiratory Flow 25-75% (FEF₂₅-₇₅%)
时间窗: At baseline and at week 9 (after 8 weeks of intervention)
FEF₂₅-₇₅% will be assessed using spirometry and reported in liters per second (L/s). FEF₂₅-₇₅%will be measured according to the guidelines of the American Thoracic Society (ATS) and the European Respiratory Society (ERS).
次要结局
- Cognitive Function(At baseline and at week 9 (after 8 weeks of intervention))
- Peripheral Muscle Strength(At baseline and at week 9 (after 8 weeks of intervention))
