Parkinson’s disease (PD) represents the second most common neurodegenerative disease. Currently, conventional physical therapy is complemented by additional physical interventions with recreational components, improving different motor conditions in people with PD. This review aims to evaluate the effectiveness of additional physical interventions to conventional physical therapy in Parkinson’s disease. A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials were performed. The literature search was conducted in PubMed, Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro), Scopus, SciELO and Web of Science. The PEDro scale was used to evaluate the methodological quality of the studies. A total of 11 randomized controlled trials were included in this review. Five of them contributed information to the meta-analysis. The statistical analysis showed favorable results for dance-based therapy in motor balance: (Timed Up and Go: standardized mean difference (SMD) = −1.16; 95% Confidence Interval (CI):(−2.30 to −0.03); Berg Balance Scale: SMD = 4.05; 95%CI:(1.34 to 6.75)). Aquatic interventions showed favorable results in balance confidence (Activities-Specific Balance Confidence: SMD=10.10; 95%CI:(2.27 to 17.93)). The results obtained in this review highlight the potential benefit of dance-based therapy in functional balance for people with Parkinson’s disease, recommending its incorporation in clinical practice. Nonetheless, many aspects require clarification through further research and high-quality studies on this subject.

Introduction: Parkinson's disease is the world's second most prevalent neurological disease. In Parkinson’s disease intracytoplasmic neuronal inclusions are observed in enteric neurons in the gastrointestinal tract, and the composition of the intestinal microbiome is altered. These changes correlate with the motor phenotype. A systematic review was conducted to determine the effect of probiotics with individuals with Parkinson’s disease. Methods: Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, The Cochrane Library, Science Direct and OVID-LWW were searched until April 2021 and total 27.395 records were reached according to inclusion and exclusion criteria with the following outcomes: Parkinson's disease rating; oxidative stress, and gastrointestinal system markers. Data searches, article selection and data extraction assessments were performed according to the PRISMA guidelines. The Jadad scale was used to rate the evidence's quality. Results: The information gathered from 5 randomized controlled trials involving 350 individuals with Parkinson’s disease receiving probiotic supplements. Parkinson’s disease rating and non-motor symptoms test were performed. Oxidative stress (Glutathione, malondialdehyde) and gastrointestinal system symptoms (bowel opening frequency, gut transit time, complete bowel movement, spontaneous bowel movements) were evaulated for 4-12 weeks of usage. Conclusion: While all high-quality studies demonstrate progress, there is currently insufficient data to recommend the use of probiotics for people with Parkinson's disease in clinical practice.
