Drumming away symptoms: Beat-Based therapy shows promise for Parkinson's and Huntington's

This study looked at whether group drum classes, held twice a week for 12 weeks, could help people with Parkinson's or Huntington's disease feel better and move more easily. 18 adults aged 18-89 took part, along with a study partner. Researchers measured changes in anxiety, depression, hand and leg function, and overall well-being before, during, and after the classes. The goal was to see if drumming could be a fun, non-drug way to ease symptoms and improve daily life.
