Objective: The aim of this study was to perform a quantitative analysis to evaluate the efficacy of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) on mood disorders, sleep, fatigue, and its impact on quality of life (QOL) in Parkinson's Disease (PD).Methods: We searched for randomized controlled trials in three electronic databases. Fourteen studies, including 507 patients with PD, met the inclusion criteria. We determined the pooled efficacy by standard mean differences and 95% confidence intervals, using I2 to reveal heterogeneity.Results: The result showed CBT had a significant effect on depression [−0.93 (95%CI, −1.19 to −0.67, P < 0.001)] and anxiety [−0.76 (95%CI, −0.97 to −0.55, P < 0.001)]. Moderate effect sizes were noted with sleep disorders [−0.45 (95% CI, −0.70 to −0.20, P = 0.0004)]. There was no evident impact of CBT on fatigue or QOL. We found an intervention period >8 weeks was advantageous compared with <8 weeks, and CBT implemented in non-group was more effective than in group. Between the delivery methods, no significant difference was found.Conclusion: We found that CBT in patients with PD was an efficacious therapy for some non-motor symptoms in PD, but not efficacious for fatigue and QOL. These results suggest that CBT results in significant improvement in PD and should be used as a conventional clinical intervention.

In this modern world, cognitive behavioral therapy is increasingly becoming a popular psychotherapeutic method amongst other talking therapies. CBT is a short term psychological technique which can help to modify patient’s attitude. It should be considered that CBT is nothing but learning and doing. So it could be impossible without patient’s cooperation. It could be argued that CBT has been identified as a remarkable treatment for considerable numbers of mental diseases specially mood disorders such as depression and anxiety. There are a wide range of arguments for and against Cognitive behavioral therapy. In this framework, firstly, CBT and its principles will be completely introduced. Secondly, application of CBT will be mentioned. Thirdly, some criticism will be expressed. Finally, in this paper, some collusion will be drawn.
