Many health professionals working in multidisciplinary teams are involved in treating patients with Parkinson\u2019s disease.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Couture and B\u00e9lair (2011) developed a research project designed to verify if General Osteopathic Treatments could influence the mood and quality of life of a person with Parkinson\u2019s disease.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The chronological experiment took place over a period of 14 weeks with a group of 19 subjects aged between 50 and 75 years old. The results were obtained following four General Osteopathic Treatments administered every two weeks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Based on data analysis, it was demonstrated that osteopathic treatments\u00a0significantly improve the mood of patients with Parkinson\u2019s disease (Hamilton Depression Scale and the MADRS). Specifically, it was noted that anxiety and depression were alleviated and that the change was maintained during the assessment four weeks following the osteopathic treatments.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is estimated that in 40 to 60% of cases, patients with Parkinson\u2019s disease experience chronic pain. However, the experiment showed a significant decrease in the perception of the pain (Questionnaire SF-36).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In light of these results, the researchers infer that there is a strong connection between decreased pain, improved mood and enhanced quality of life.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Osteopathic treatments have a positive impact on the anxiety and pain experienced by individuals with Parkinson\u2019s disease.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":2134,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[14,18],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/qualita.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2250"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/qualita.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/qualita.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/qualita.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/qualita.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2250"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/qualita.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2250\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/qualita.ca\/en\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/qualita.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2250"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/qualita.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2250"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/qualita.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2250"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
