Sufferers of Parkinson's
disease are in for a pleasant surprise. It may be helpful for these
patients to find some time to go tango dancing. McGill University reported on April
13, 2015, tango dancing may benefit Parkinson's disease patients.

According to findings from a new study by researchers at the
Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital there could be possible benefits
for people at various stages in the development of Parkinson’s disease from
dancing the Argentine tango. The researchers looked at motor abilities of
patients following a 12-week tango course.
They also assessed the effect that tango has on symptoms of
this disease.
The researchers investigated whether a social and physical
activity which is associated with music, such as tango, could possibly have
therapeutic value for patients with Parkinson's disease. These patients
generally suffer from motor dysfunctions including tremor, rigidity, and gait dysfunction as
well as non-motor symptoms, such as depression, fatigue and cognitive
degeneration.
This study has been published in the journal Complementary
Therapies in Medicine. The goal of the researchers was to determine effects of
Argentine tango on the motor and non-motor manifestations seen in patients with
Parkinson's disease. It was concluded Argentine tango can improve balance and
functional mobility in these patients. There may be modest benefits on cognition
and fatigue in Parkinson's disease patients.
This is very compelling research. Dr. Silvia Rios Romenets,
who was the lead researcher in the study and who has a special interest in
Parkinson’s disease and dance therapy, says there has been growing evidence
that habitual physical activity is associated with a lower risk of developing
Parkinson's disease therefore suggesting a potential slowing of Parkinson's
disease progression.
It is really exciting to note that there is a connection
between music and the dopamine systems located in the brain, which are vital
for establishing and maintaining behavior. Therefore, mixing music with
exercise in dance such as the tango can enhance accessibility, enjoyability,
and motivation, as well as generate better mood and stimulate cognition.
Furthermore, the social interaction and social support which are involved in
tango have positive effects on mood and compliance.
This could also be some good news for victims of psychiatric
drugging. The psychiatrists consistently prescribe neuroleptic drugs for what
they claim are psychotic states and for schizophrenia. There are actually no
biological markers for any of the psychiatric diagnoses, as reported upon by
the Citizens Commission on Human Rights, andthe neuroleptics generally cause a
Parkinson’s disease like syndrome which is very painful and debilitating. While
struggling to survive the abusive interventions of psychiatrists the victims of
psychiatric drugging should theoretically benefit from Argentine tango.
