Rolando Toro's Biodanza (SRT) is a therapeutic strategy that uses movement, music, and emotions to induce integrative living experiences. The present study aims to explore the efficacy of a three-month SRT intervention on motor, cognitive, and behavioral symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). This study employed a randomized between-group design. Twenty-eight non-demented PD patients were enrolled in this study. Out of these, fourteen patients were assigned to the active treatment group using the Biodanza SRT system and fourteen to the untreated control group. The study group attended 2 h SRT classes once a week, completing twelve lessons in twelve weeks. All patients underwent: (i) a neurological examination to measure the severity of motor symptoms, balance, mobility, and risk of falls, and (ii) a neuropsychological battery to assess cognitive status, apathy, depressive symptomatology, and perceived quality of life (QoL), at study entry (T0) and at twelve weeks (T1, end of dance training). At T1, we observed a significant improvement in motor (i.e., severity of motor symptoms and balance) and cognitive parameters (i.e., working memory and delayed verbal memory) in all treated patients compared with the controls. Furthermore, a significant improvement in the social support dimension was found in all treated patients compared to the controls. A trend toward increased apathy was found in untreated patients at T1. The three-month Biodanza intervention significantly ameliorated the motor parameters of PD patients, with a parallel improvement in cognitive and QoL status. Hence, Biodanza intervention can, in the short term, represent a useful personalized medical intervention for the management of Parkinson's disease.
罗兰多·托罗的生物舞蹈疗法（SRT）是一种利用运动、音乐和情感来诱导综合性生活体验的治疗策略。本研究旨在探讨为期三个月的SRT干预对帕金森病（PD）患者运动、认知和行为症状的疗效。本研究采用随机组间设计。28名非痴呆型PD患者参与了本研究。其中，14名患者被分配到使用生物舞蹈疗法SRT系统的积极治疗组，14名患者被分配到未治疗的对照组。研究组每周参加一次2小时的SRT课程，在12周内完成12节课。所有患者在研究开始时（T0）和12周时（T1，舞蹈训练结束时）均接受了：（i）神经系统检查，以测量运动症状的严重程度、平衡能力、活动能力和跌倒风险；（ii）神经心理成套测试，以评估认知状态、冷漠、抑郁症状和感知生活质量（QoL）。在T1时，与对照组相比，我们观察到所有接受治疗的患者在运动（即运动症状的严重程度和平衡能力）和认知参数（即工作记忆和延迟言语记忆）方面有显著改善。此外，与对照组相比，所有接受治疗的患者在社会支持维度上有显著改善。在T1时，未治疗的患者出现冷漠增加的趋势。为期三个月的生物舞蹈疗法干预显著改善了PD患者的运动参数，同时认知和QoL状态也有相应改善。因此，生物舞蹈疗法干预在短期内可以代表一种有用的个性化医疗干预措施，用于帕金森病的管理。
