“…These findings complimented the consistent positive feedback from clinicians and patients on the use of MT for speech production [58,63]. We expected to see a positive effect of art on motor control, considering that published studies have validated the evidence-based clinical use of dance to improve motor impairments of PD patients [41][42][43][44]. Additionally, we expected to find that improvements in UHDRS motor scores were accompanied by an increase in medial superior parietal and paracentral lobule volume as a result of participating in contemporary DMT [69].…”

Background: Studies have assessed the therapeutic effect of music, dance, and rhythmic auditory cueing for patients with Huntington's disease (HD). However, the synthesis of evidence in support of their positive impact on symptoms is lacking. Objective: We conducted a systematic literature review to evaluate the potential benefits of music, dance, and rhythm on the cognitive, psychiatric and motor function in patients with HD. Methods: Two-and three-keyword searches and a manual search identified medical literature published from 1999 through 2019. We considered literature that assessed outcomes of art-based rehabilitation programs or individual modalities for persons with early, middle, or advanced HD. Structured analysis was conducted using data entry tables with categories for patient health status, art methods, and outcomes. Results: Seven articles and six abstracts met eligibility criteria, of which nine evaluated art-based rehabilitation programs. Studies mainly assessed cognitive, psychiatric, and motor functions through music, dance, or rhythm modalities. Although results were conflicting, in summary improvements to motor function were dependent on disease severity and more responsive to art therapy programs than rhythm-motor synchronization. Benefits to global cognition that resulted from rhythmic training correlated with microstructural changes. Qualitative data verified a positive impact on language production, chorea, behavior, and quality of life. Conclusion: Our review has shown a potential benefit of music, dance, and rhythm for patients with HD, which is particularly important for a disease that has no cure. Art forms seemed to affect cognitive, psychiatric, motor, psychosocial, and neuroanatomical domains. However, evidence is preliminary, warranting further investigation to establish the foundation for this field.

“…Findings show improved motor control, gait, spatial memory, functional well-being, and quality of life [41][42][43][44]. The rationale for using MT and DMT in rehabilitation programs is the idea that music and dance are specialized auditory and motor forms that induce specific neuroplastic changes [37].…”

“…A primary objective was to examine, using GCA, the basal pathways of propagation of information within the brain network of PD patients in comparison with healthy elders. Then, in view of the proven beneficial effects of music-based interventions on PD ( Garcia-Casares et al, 2018 ), we were interested in exploring whether and how music listening could modify the brain connectivity patterns. Traditional EEG power analyses were also conducted to frame the GCA results and enrich their interpretation.…”

“…This issue is particularly interesting, since in PD auditory rhythms and music may function as a template for organizing movements, helping coordination and improving attention ( Calabro et al, 2019 ). Although many studies demonstrated that music therapy has beneficial effects on both motor and non-motor symptoms ( Garcia-Casares et al, 2018 ; Ferreri et al, 2019 ), so far only one magnetoencephalography study provided preliminary evidence of its effects on auditory-motor connections in PD patients ( Buard et al, 2019 ). EEG evidence on music processing in healthy subjects suggests that neuronal responses to music not only reflect the singular music characteristics, but can also largely vary from subject to subject as a function of their emotional involvement ( Kaur et al, 2017 ).…”

Music-based interventions seem to enhance motor, sensory and cognitive functions in Parkinson’s disease (PD), but the underlying action mechanisms are still largely unknown. This electroencephalography (EEG) study aimed to investigate the effective connectivity patterns characterizing PD in the resting state and during music listening. EEG recordings were obtained from fourteen non-demented PD patients and 12 healthy controls, at rest and while listening to three music tracks. Theta- and alpha-band power spectral density and multivariate partial directed coherence were computed. Power and connectivity measures were compared between patients and controls in the four conditions and in music vs. rest. Compared to controls, patients showed enhanced theta-band power and slightly enhanced alpha-band power, but markedly reduced theta- and alpha-band interactions among EEG channels, especially concerning the information received by the right central channel. EEG power differences were partially reduced by music listening, which induced power increases in controls but not in patients. Connectivity differences were slightly compensated by music, whose effects largely depended on the track. In PD, music enhanced the frontotemporal inter-hemispheric communication. Our findings suggest that PD is characterized by enhanced activity but reduced information flow within the EEG network, being only partially normalized by music. Nevertheless, music capability to facilitate inter-hemispheric communication might underlie its beneficial effects on PD pathophysiology and should be further investigated.

“…In addition, self-compassion can not only be measured reliably, but it is also a trainable skill that can significantly increase life satisfaction while decreasing depression, anxiety, stress, and emotional avoidance [21]. New non-pharmacological therapies that may potentially have a positive effect on happiness, such as mindfulness [22], dance therapy [23,24], or music therapy [25], are currently being developed and put to the test in clinical studies. Having reliable scales in these studies that can measure the full impact of such new interventions, well beyond motor scores, may be valuable for patients and timely.…”

Happiness: A Novel Outcome in Parkinson Studies?

In this viewpoint, we draw attention to using happiness in clinical studies as an interesting outcome that is highly relevant to patients with Parkinson's disease. Quality of life (QoL) is thus far commonly used as main outcome in clinical trials. Happiness is a part of QoL, but also represents a construct on its own. While QoL mainly consists of quality perceptions of different extrinsic aspects of life, such as the environment or performance, happiness entails the intrinsic quality of the subjective enjoyment of life. Around 70% of people rate happiness as the most important thing in life. Happiness can be a difficult construct to measure, but we argue that self-compassion and well-being could serve as reliable indicators for happiness. We expect that happiness as outcome could probe the true value of an intervention for a patient, well beyond what is captured by more traditional outcomes such as motor scores or the general concept of QoL, which better reflect external factors. Because of the apparent importance of happiness to many people, we recommend that this concept is used more widely as outcome measure in future clinical trials.
