Tango for Treatment of Motor and Non-motor Manifestations in Parkinson's Disease: A Randomized Control Study.

McGill University Health Centre/Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre·interventional·Posted Apr 9, 2012·Updated Feb 1, 2016

In Brief

A Early Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating Argentinean Tango classes and Simple pamphlet about the exercise in PD for Parkinson's Disease. Completed, enrolled 33 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

Parkinson's disease involves many motor difficulties as well as non-motor ones. Recent research has strongly suggested that exercise is very important for Parkinson's disease. We are interested especially in dance as a form of exercise, because it combines physical movements with balance tasks, social engagement, and mental stimulation. Therefore, we think dance classes may be a very beneficial exercise for Parkinson's disease; the purpose of this study is to see if Argentinean Tango classes might improve motor and non-motor manifestations of Parkinson's disease.
