INFLAMMATORY MARKERS AND NEUROPEPTIDES CHARACTERISTIC OF PARKINSON’S DISEASE AND THEIR RESPONSE TO VISUALIZATION AND SUGGESTION BASED MIND-BODY THERAPY
Journal Title: Acta Neuropsychologica - Year 2017, Vol 15, Issue 4
Abstract
Progress in elucidating neuroimmune connections has created new opportunities for improving the treatment of Parkinson’s disease (PD). In recent years, mind-body therapies have been shown to have positive effects on the immune and nervous systems, but interactions at the molecular level have not been tested. Thus, the main aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of therapy based on visualization and suggestion on the concentrations of IL-6, CRP, DA, BDNF, CoQ10, and TAC in patients with advanced PD.
