Music therapy in the treatment of Parkinson's disease. Television program. Production date: 2002 Duration: 17' 58'' Parkinson's disease is one of the most complex disorders of the central nervous system and is progressive despite medical treatments. At this time, a drug has not yet been discovered to cure it, but we have drugs that alleviate its symptoms. The disease is a consequence of the deterioration of nerve cells, affecting the entire population equally, with no significant differences between men and women, people of different economic or geographical situations. Non-pharmacological treatments, including music therapy, have a very evident positive effect. In this sense, music, rhythm and dance considerably improve both problems related to language and coordination of movements, typical problems of patients affected by Parkinson's. Participants: Blanca Celgueroso, Neurologist. Ana María Garrocho, President of the Parkinson's Association of Móstoles; Dense Garat, Music and Expression Monitor; Pilar Lago Castro, Professor (UNED). Production and realization: CEMAV For more information: http://www.uned.es http://canal.uned.es
