Background

Cochrane reviews of physiotherapy (PT) and occupational therapy (OT) for Parkinson’s disease found insufficient evidence of effectiveness, but previous trials were methodologically flawed with small sample size and short-term follow-up....

IMPORTANCE It is unclear whether physiotherapy and occupational therapy are clinically effective and cost-effective in Parkinson disease (PD).
OBJECTIVE To perform a large pragmatic randomized clinical trial to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of... Read More about Physiotherapy and occupational therapy vs no therapy in mild to moderate Parkinson disease: a randomized clinical trial.
