Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy for People with Parkinson's Disease during the COVID-19 Pandemic

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Anxiety and depression are among the most common non-motor PD symptoms. People with PD have experienced additional stress and social isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic. Caregivers of people with PD may experience significant caregiver burden. MBCT can prevent the relapse of depression and improve anxiety symptoms. Few studies have explored its benefits for people with PD; none have included caregivers. This study aimed to investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of a mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) intervention in reducing anxiety and/or depression in people with Parkinson's disease (PD) and their caregivers. The study was registered on ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT04469049) and it was conducted entirely online.
