This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study explores whether individual music therapy — involving gentle string instrument playing, the therapist's singing, and lyre music — can help reduce anxiety and calm the nervous system in people with Parkinson's disease. Researchers will measure changes in anxiety, mood, quality of life, heart rate patterns, blood pressure stability, and brain activity. The study also examines whether listening to emotionally meaningful music can directly affect the brain and body in Parkinson's patients.
People with Parkinson's disease often struggle with anxiety, low motivation, and depression that are hard to treat with medication alone. These emotional and psychological symptoms are often linked to problems with the autonomic nervous system (the system that controls heart rate and blood pressure), and current treatments don't always address them well. This trial tests whether music therapy might offer a gentler, complementary way to improve both emotional well-being and physical symptoms.

You would receive individual music therapy sessions featuring gentle string instrument playing, singing, and lyre music from a trained therapist. Throughout the study, researchers would measure your anxiety, mood, and quality of life using questionnaires, and they would assess your heart rate patterns, blood pressure, tremor, walking ability, and brain activity using medical monitoring. Some participants will also listen to emotionally evocative music while researchers measure your brain and heart responses.
