Summary

Non-pharmacological therapies become more important in the management of Parkinson's disease (PD). Among these, mindfulness meditation is the subject of high expectations. This intervention, such as the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction-based (MBSR) stress reduction program, have shown effects on psychological distress, motor and non-motor disorders, and quality of life. However, the data is still very frail and the conditions for practical use are still very uncertain. The objective of the study is to determine the feasibility of a standardized MBSR program in Parkinsonians patients.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction-based program (MBSR).

The MBSR program is built over 8 weeks (1 information session, 8 group sessions from 2h30 to 3h and 1 full day). A trained MBSR instructor will lead group sessions weekly for approximately 150-210 minutes to teach and demonstrate the practices. Practices include walking/standing/supine meditation, body scanning (drawing attention to various areas of the body such as the right foot or left hand), and simple hatha yoga postures. Exercises are the basis of this group learning with practice time and practice exchange time. Participants are asked to commit to daily meditation at home using audioguides for 40 minutes to 1 hour.
