Brief Summary: The goal of this intervention study is to investigate the effectiveness of two mind-body interventions - yoga and arts-based approaches in improving the psycho-social-spiritual well-being among PD patients The hypotheses include

H1 Yoga and arts-based interventions will significantly improve the psycho-social-spiritual well-being among PD patients H2 Yoga and arts-based interventions will significantly alleviate or maintain PD-related symptoms and severity levels H3 There is no significant difference between the effectiveness of yoga and arts-based interventions on psycho-social-spiritual well-being among PD patients

Eligible individuals will be invited to a baseline assessment followed by a randomization to the two intervention groups A repeated outcome measure will be conducted at baseline prior to randomization T0 3-month T1 6-month T2 9-month T3 follow-up after baseline assessment to investigate the immediate and long-term effects
Detailed Description: Parkinsons disease PD the second most common neurodegenerative disease usually results in physical deterioration as well as a spectrum of psychosocial sequels that could bring various challenges on ones daily lives Patients experience common motor symptoms including tremor rigidity bradykinesia and postural instability in parallel with psychosocial stressors ie non- motor symptoms NMS such as sleep disturbance cognitive deficits gastrointestinal symptoms dopaminergic drug-induced behaviors eg hallucination impulse control issues and mood disturbance eg depression anxiety While 21 of individuals struggling with the disease reported at least one of these psychosocial symptoms within the initial stage of the disease they are generally at risk for increased emotional distress cognitive declines and elevated stress hormone cortisol levels

Both motor and non-motor symptoms of Parkinsons disease could affect the quality of life of individuals and that of their caregivers A cross-sectional study conducted by our research team has explored the symptom burden and support care needs in people with PD across East and Southern Asia n186 revealing significant unmet needs among Hong Kong PD patients regarding their psychosocial-spiritual concerns In particular they experience significant moderate palliative care needs at the early to middle course of the illness The extent of unmet support care needs among patients with mild to moderate PD is as great as that among patients with other chronic health conditions such as advanced cancer late-stage lung cancer stage 45 chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and late stage chronic kidney disease The visible and unpredictable symptoms of a distorted body eg tremor and gait dysfunction and the suppressed expressions due to having a masked face reduced voice and slurred speech often results in difficulty seeking help and stigmatization of the disease

Despite the tremendous influences and common occurrence of NMS they are surprisingly under- recognized in clinical practice because of the lack of spontaneous verbal complaints by the patients as well as the lack of systematic questioning by healthcare professionals A qualitative exploration of the illness experience of local PD patients highlighted the importance and urgent need for holistic PD interventions that emphasizes on early identification and preventive measures of individual who are at risk for PD patients alleviation of the effects of the psychological sequels to PD patients as well as the reduction of stigma and promotion of community support towards PD

The study adopts a 2-arm randomized controlled design aiming to investigate the effectiveness of two mind-body interventions - yoga and arts-based approaches in improving the psycho-social-spiritual well-being among PD patients
