Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder involving motor and non-motor symptoms that reduce quality of life. Non-motor symptoms, including depression, anxiety, fatigue, and sleep disturbances, are often underrecognized despite their significant impact on daily functioning. This study aimed to examine the effects of three group-based rehabilitation interventions on emotional well-being in patients with moderate PD.

Forty-eight participants (Hoehn-Yahr stages 2.0–3.0) were randomly assigned to music therapy, dance training, physiotherapy, or control groups. Emotional states were assessed using the Emotional State Questionnaire (EST-Q2) before and after an eight-week intervention consisting of twice-weekly 60-minute sessions. Data were analyzed using paired t-tests and one-way ANOVA.

Music therapy demonstrated the broadest benefits, improving depression, anxiety, panic disorder, social phobia, and insomnia. Physiotherapy was most effective in reducing anxiety, asthenia, and insomnia, while dance training improved depression, asthenia, and insomnia. Group-based rehabilitation represents an effective complementary approach for alleviating emotional symptoms in patients with PD.
