An Integrated and Personalized Lifestyle Approach for People With Parkinson's Disease
Sponsor: Radboud University Medical Center
Summary
The goal of this study is to investigate the effects of a combined lifestyle program on the quality of life in people with Parkinson's Disease. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups, both receiving standard care, a Parkinson Lifestyle Decision aid and an intake meeting with a lifestyle coach. One group will work on their goals independently, while the other group will get guidance from the lifestyle coach throughout the 12-month program. The program focuses on self-management, exercise, nutrition, sleep and stress. Participants will complete questionnaires after 0, 6 and 12 months, and use a wearable sensor for two weeks. The main outcome is quality of life over 12 months, measured with the PDQ-39 questionnaire. The study also examines personal goal achievements, symptom changes, and the economic effects of the program.

Personalized and combined lifestyle approach
In the SENSS approach five different and complementary lifestyle domains (self-management, exercise, nutrition, sleep and stress) are combined. The process will be guided by a lifestyle coach. The intervention is personalised for each participant. The personal goals are decided based on 'shared decision making' together with the lifestyle coach after using a Parkinson lifestyle decision aid. The level of guidance needed throughout the intervention is based on a 'stepped care approach'.
