Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of the present study was to assess the effects of a combined therapy of aerobic exercise and transcranial photobiomodulation upon the cardinal motor sympomts of Parkinson´s disease of a group of Parkinson´s disease patients. It was hypothesized that aerobic exercise and transcranial photobiomodulation would yield significant benefits in the cardinal motor sympomts of the illness.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Intervention aerobic (IAER)

Patients assigned to the IAER participated in fourty-eigth aerobic exercise therapy sessions over the course of six months.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Aerobic training

Intervention Type OTHER

Cycling at the aerobic intensity

Intervention photobiomodulation (IPBM)

Patients assigned to the IPBM participated in fourty-eigth transcraneal photobiomodulation (PBM) theraphy sessions, using a therapeutic laser console, over the course of six months.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Photobiomodulation

Intervention Type OTHER

Photons therapy

Intervention aerobic and photobiomodulation (IAER+PBM9

Patients assigned to the IAER+PBM participated in the aerobic exercise therapy and the PBM one at the same time, during six months.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Aerobic training

Intervention Type OTHER

Cycling at the aerobic intensity

Photobiomodulation

Intervention Type OTHER

Photons therapy

Control (CO)

Patients assigned to the control (CO) did not participated in any kind of therapy, they just followed their usual weekly routine during six months

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Diagnosis with idiopathic PD and rated 1-2 on the Hoehn and Yahr Scale.
* No type of dementia as assessed by the mini-mental state examination.
