Effect on Parkinson's Disease After Therapeutic Induction of CranioSacral Integrated Therapy

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
We are studying & researching the effect of CranioSacral Integrative therapy on Parkinson's Diseased Patients for 3 months. With a therapeutic induction via manual CranioSacral integrative therapy for 90 minutes per session with a total of 2 session divided equally in a month (biweekly intervention). At the end of 3 months each patient will have total of 9 hours of CranioSacral Integrative therapy induced, we will document the symptoms and shortcomings of the patients at evaluation, before and after therapeutic treatment on a measured scale ranging from 1-10. Finally graphically and statistically measure the quality of change in the symptoms at the end of 3 months and provide executive summary of the research finding, which the investigators expect to be a positive one.

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| reduction in tremors due to Parkinson's disease in the patient | Measurement of the tremors and quality of the coordination of the medial leminiscus system on 1-10 (1 being zero tremors and 10 being out of control tremors) scale at the evaluation and at beginning and at the end of each treatment session and in the end will provide a graphical and statistical display in the change in the tremors relative to the therapeutic induction | 3 months | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Quality of Proprioception | will evaluate the patients ability to move within space and time with certain precision and measure it on a scale of 1-10 (1 being very precise with fine motor movement and 10 being out of control fine motor movements)at the time of evaluation and at the beginning and end of each therapeutic treatment and finally document it graphically and statistically, the change in the overall motor movements like walking and quality of gait. | 3 months |
