Data Sheet 1_Adjunctive non-pharmacological interventions for motor symptoms in Parkinson’s disease: a scoping review of randomized controlled trials.pdf

The literature on non-pharmacological adjuncts is diverse, and the label “complementary and alternative therapy” is used inconsistently across conventional rehabilitation, mind–body practices, acupuncture, cueing, and neuromodulation.</p>Objective<p>To map randomized evidence on adjunctive non-pharmacological interventions for PD motor symptoms, while distinguishing complementary/integrative practices from conventional rehabilitation and other adjunctive technologies.</p>Methods<p>We conducted a PRISMA-ScR-guided scoping review of PubMed and Web of Science from 1 January 2015 to 7 September 2025.

English- or Chinese-language randomized controlled, randomized crossover, pilot, or feasibility trials were eligible when at least one prespecified motor or motor-function outcome was reported. Published reports and independent trials were counted separately. Non-motor outcomes were not synthesized unless they were ancillary to an otherwise eligible motor-focused trial.</p>Results<p>After a study-level and report-level audit, 50 eligible reports representing 48 independent randomized trials were retained.
