Efficacy of Yijinjing-inspired exercises on sleep disorders in Parkinson's disease: a controlled fNIRS study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Sleep disorders are prevalent in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients, significantly impacting their quality of life and rehabilitation outcomes. This controlled trial aimed to investigate the impact of Yijinjing-inspired exercises on sleep disorders in PD patients, utilizing functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to assess neurophysiological changes.

Methods

Ninety-six PD patients were allocated to control, exercise, or music therapy groups for eight weeks. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), along with the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS), and Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-39) were used to assess outcomes. fNIRS measured neurophysiological changes post
