Parkinson pai d’égua: protocolo de danças amazônicas sobre os parâmetros não motores e motores em pessoas com Parkinson

Abstract

Introduction: In Parkinson's disease, dopaminergic neurons degenerate. Dance has been shown to be a non-pharmacological intervention for PD symptoms. However, the benefits are mostly assessed in motor symptoms. However, it is believed that the characteristics of Amazonian dances can be a stimulus for improving and/or maintaining the motor and non motor symptoms of PD. However, no studies with Amazonian dances in people with Parkinson's were found Methods: The aim of the study was to analyze the responses of Amazonian dances and cultural manifestations on the non-motor symptoms of global cognition, mood, depressive symptoms and quality of life in people with Parkinson's in the Amazon region and to evaluate an intra-group control period of Health Education and compare it with the effects of dances. This is a longitudinal study. Participants will be people with Parkinson's of both sexes, stage 1 to 4 on the Hoehn and Yahr scale. The volunteers took part in evaluations before and after the Health Education period, Protocol and follow up. The data was collected and tabulated in Excel, and analyzed using SPSS software version 27.0. We used descriptive statistics to characterize the sample, and Generalized Estimating Equations to compare moments, groups and subtypes of PD. In addition, the effect size was calculated using Edges' d. Results When analyzing depressive symptoms, significant differences were found for the Group factor (p=0.049) and the ES intervention (7.00±1.15; 6.50±0.96). When we analyzed mood states by domains, for the Anger domain, the Group (p= 0.35) and Time (p= 0.66) factors did not show significant values. For global cognitive function, significant differences were found for the Group factor (p<0.001).Conclusion: The present study shows benefits of the Health Education Program of the Amazonian Dances and Cultural Manifestations protocol for PcP in non-motor symptoms of depressive symptoms in both interventions. This indicates that Amazonian dances and cultural manifestations can be used with caution for the rehabilitation of non-motor and motor symptoms in people with Parkinson's disease.
