| Abstract | This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (Intervention). The objectives are as follows: To compare the efficacy and effectiveness of singing interventions with non-singing intervention or usual care on QoL, wellbeing, and speech and communication among people with PD. We will assess the QoL and the physical, psychological, and social health and wellbeing of people with PD who receive a singing intervention, compared to non-singing intervention or usual care. © 2019 The Cochrane Collaboration.

| How the intervention might work Studies have found that participation in group singing or choirs is associated with various health benefits across a wide range of outcome groups, including enhanced physical functions and mental, social, and spiritual wellbeing (Clift 2010a; Clift 2010b; Irons 2012; Irons 2016). . | Singing may enhance health and wellbeing through promoting neurochemicals such as dopamine, cortisol, serotonin, and oxytocin, as the structures of songs (e.g. melody, rhythm, and harmony) can induce a range of emotional and physical responses. . | Social health Participating in group singing, such as a choir, can reduce isolation and provide social support. . | Singing with others can promote positive feelings, such as friendship and empathy, which are positively associated with a sense of wellbeing (Ryff 2008). . | With regular singing activities (e.g. over six months), people have reported reduced psychological distress and improved wellbeing (Clift 2017). . | Quality of life Several studies have suggested that participating in singing can enhance a persons QoL (Clift 2010a; Clift 2010b; Clift 2010c; Johnson 2013). . | Furthermore, through regular singing, it is suggested that people with PD can experience enhanced lung function (Di Benedetto 2009). . |
