The effects of a relaxation program featuring aquatic therapy and autogenic training among people with cervical dystonia (a pilot study)

Abstract: Classic physical interventions for cervical dystonia (CD) have focused on treating motor components or, on motor components and relaxation programs. However, no CD treatment study has focused on a relaxation program alone. We developed a pilot study to assess whether a therapy completely based on a relaxation program could improve the physical and mental symptomatologies of patients with CD. Fifteen persons were included in the experimental group, which received individual sessions of aquatic (Watsu) therapy (… Show more

“…A single RCT investigated the long-term effectiveness of physical therapy in an AOIFCD cohort. In addition to demonstrating improvement in their motor symptoms, symptoms of pain, anxiety, and depression remained significantly improved 12 months after instigation of the programme, with these improvements potentially related to enhanced neuroplasticity [73], whereas a pilot study found reduced symptoms of depression but no improvement in anxiety symptoms following a relaxation programme [74].…”

“…Esto debido a que la AIJ aún es considerada una enfermedad rara dada su baja prevalencia 7 y al énfasis de estudiar mediante este tipo de diseño la efectividad de las terapias farmacológicas principalmente. Además, los estudios que utilizan a la terapia watsu son escasos y de bajo nivel de evidencia 20,22,23,[35][36][37] , por lo tanto se requiere continuar investigando acerca de diferentes estrategias biopsicosociales e interdisciplinarias de intervención en esta enfermedad, que logren fomentar el control y manejo de la sintomatología, junto con favorecer su remisión clínica.…”

“…The motivation for the present paper was a result of: 1) prior work demonstrating beneficial effects of exercise on cognitive function [1][2][3][4], 2) emerging work demonstrating beneficial effects of aquatic exercise on psychological well-being [18][19], and 3) the implications (e.g., feasibility, less weight-bearing) of aquatic exercise for health promotion purposes. The main finding of the present review was that, chronic aquatic exercise training appears to be effective in enhancing various biomarkers and cognitive outcomes.…”
