A review explores exercise therapy's effects on non-motor symptoms in Parkinson's Disease, highlighting its importance for treatment.

This review aims to evaluate the impact of exercise on non-motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease and explore underlying mechanisms.
Reviewed clinical trials on exercise interventions for non-motor symptoms in Parkinson's Disease.
Examined various exercise modalities and their effects on anxiety, depression, cognition, sleep, and pain.
Considered parameters like intensity and duration to assess their role in symptom regulation.
Exercise shows benefits across multiple non-motor symptom domains such as mood and cognition.
Mechanistic insights suggest potential pathways through which exercise exerts these benefits.
Current evidence is limited by small sample sizes and inconsistent outcome measures.

Hu et al. (2026) studied this question.
