New hope for Parkinson's patients: Exercise and focused ultrasound interventions show promise.
A new meta-analysis of published studies has found that exercise interventions, including both aerobic and non-aerobic activity, can lessen Parkinson's disease motor symptoms. The study involved 25 articles relating to interventions spanning 4-26 weeks and provides evidence in support of exercise in the management of Parkinson's disease. The researchers noted that the differential benefit of specific forms of exercise requires further investigation.
