The impact of touching-communication-relief therapy on Parkinson's disease patients: a spiritual care perspective study.
Article in BMC neurology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveThis study sought to assess the effectiveness of Touching-Communication-Relief therapy in providing nursing care for individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD) with a focus on spiritual care.
methodsPatients admitted between February and August 2022 were assigned to the observation group, while patients admitted from September 2022 to February 2023 comprised the control group; each consisted of 45 patients. The control group received standard nursing care, whereas the observation group underwent "touch, communication, and relief" therapy based on spiritual care principles. Quality of life parameters, including sleep quality, anxiety, depression, and nursing satisfaction, were assessed before and after the intervention to compare outcomes between the two groups.
resultsForty-five patients from the control and observation groups completed the study. Significant differences were noted between the treatment groups (p < 0.05) in the Hamilton Depression Scale, Parkinson's Disease Sleep Scale, and Newcastle Nursing Satisfaction Scale. Nevertheless, no significant variance was identified in the post-nursing scores of the 39-item Parkinson's Quality of Life Questionnaire (p > 0.05) between the two groups.
conclusionThe spiritual care perspective through multidisciplinary teamwork highlights the efficacy of Touching-Communication-Relief therapy in bolstering mood and sleep in individuals with PD, which ultimately enhanced the quality of life. This intervention is a valuable and essential complement to conventional medical, surgical, and primary care practices.
