Effect on Balance Function in Patients with Parkinson's Disease Treated by Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation by Na QIAO, Jianjun LU, Yongliang GUO, Wenhua ZHENG, Tiebin YAN

“…The difference between two groups was that the current intensity of the intervention group was 2 mA, while acting as a placebo condition, the current intensity of the control group was 2 mA only at the first and last 30 s during the treatment, the rest of time was 0 mA.Before and after 5 days, patients with Parkinson's disease were evaluated by scales in terms of Berg Balance Scale(BBS)and NeuroCom Balance system(parameters including scores of balance test under six conditions).Results:Before treatment, there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups on BBS scores and the balance results of the 6 kinds of balance conditions in the NeuroCom Balance system(<italic>P</italic>&gt;0.05).After five days'treatment, BBS scores(52.24±4.04)of the intervention group were improved compared with those(50.44±4.89)before treatment, and the difference was statistically significant(<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05);the BBS scores(51.96±4.11)of the control group were improved compared with those(49.75±4.74)before treatment, and the difference was statistically significant(<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05);there was not statistically significant in the BBS scores after treatment between the two groups(<italic>P</italic>&gt;0.05).After five days'treatment, the evaluation values of NeuroCom Balance system of condition①, ②, ③and⑤in the intervention group were not statistically significant(<italic>P</italic>&gt;0.05);the evaluation values of NeuroCom Balance system of condition④(73.21±8.89)and⑥(37.42±26.46)in the intervention group were statistically significant than before(64.72±13.93)and(31.09±29.28)(<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05).The evaluation values of NeuroCom Balance system of condition①, ②, ③, ④, ⑤and⑥in the control group were not statistically significant(<italic>P</italic>&gt;0.05).Conclusion:tDCS could enhance the visual spatial processing and vestibular function in patients with Parkinson's disease and improve the ability with their balance.…”

“…Gait indicators and balance indicators were used to evaluate, analyze and compare the two groups of patients before the test and 3 weeks after the test.Results1) IDEEA gait indicators: there was no statistically significant difference in gait indicators between the two groups before the test (<italic>P</italic>&gt;0.05); after 3 weeks, compared with those before the test, the two gait indexes of cycle time and stride duration in the treatment group were improved, and the differences were statistically significant (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05), while the comparison of the gait index of the control group before and after the test, the difference was not statistically significant (<italic>P</italic>&gt;0.05); the cycle time and stride duration of the treatment group were respectively (1.30±0.32) s and (645.90±156.65) ms, which were better than those of the control group (1.56±0.38) s and (765.05±158.93) ms, and the differences were statistically significant (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05). 2) Balance index: there was no statistically significant difference in the balance index between the two groups before the test (<italic>P</italic>&gt;0.05); the scores and grades of balance test in the treatment group were improved after 3 weeks of the test compared with those before the test (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05), while there was no significant difference in the balance index of the control group before and after the test (<italic>P</italic>&gt;0.05); the balance test level of the treatment group was 1.00 (1.00, 2.20), which was better than the control group's 2.15 (1.00, 3.83), the difference was statistically significant (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05).ConclusionBaduanjin training can significantly improve the gait and balance ability of patients with mild to moderate PD.…”
