Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary outcome variable will be assessed using the Movement Disorder Society–Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale Part 3 (MDS-UPDRS Part 3). Changes in motor symptom scores before and after the intervention will be measured to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The secondary outcome variable will be measured using MDS-UPDRS Part 2, which evaluates changes in activities of daily living. Pre- and post-intervention score differences will be analyzed to assess the intervention's impact on patients’ functional abilities in daily life.;The secondary outcome variable will be measured using MDS-UPDRS Part 4, which evaluates complications of therapy, including dyskinesias and motor fluctuations. Differences between pre- and post-intervention scores will be analyzed to assess the impact of the intervention on treatment-related side effects.;Parkinson’s Disease Questionnaire-8 (PDQ-8) will be administered to assess changes in health-related quality of life. Pre- and post-intervention total scores will be compared to evaluate the impact of the intervention on patients’ perceived quality of life.;Timed Up and Go test (TUG) will be used to measure changes in gait and functional mobility. The time required for the patient to stand up from a chair, walk 3 meters, turn around, return, and sit down will be recorded. Differences between pre- and post-intervention times will be analyzed to assess improvements in mobility. | — |
