A Cross-over Pilot Study on the Effects of Classical Guitar Instruction on Motor and Non-Motor Symptoms in People with Parkinson’s Disease

Group guitar instruction could potentially help with both motor and non-motor symptoms in PwPD. There appears to be a specific effect of group guitar instruction on MDS-UPDRS motor scores that is not due to regular meetings and general exercises. This unfunded study was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05917704).

Abstract

Group guitar instruction could potentially help with both motor and non-motor symptoms in PwPD. There appears to be a specific effect of group guitar instruction on MDS-UPDRS motor scores that is not due to regular meetings and general exercises. This unfunded study was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05917704).
