Literature Review on Vocal Therapy Effectiveness in Parkinson's Disease, 2003-2013

Renata Serrano de Andrade Pinheiro authored a literature review assessing scientific evidence for voice treatments in Parkinson's disease. The review analyzed 351 articles from PubMed/MEDLINE, SciELO, and Lilacs, with 18 studies meeting inclusion criteria for the period 2003-2013. Results were categorized by intervention technique: pharmacological, surgical, and rehabilitation.

Use Cases

• Systematic review of evidence for different voice treatment techniques based on the categorized intervention types.
• Meta-analysis of study characteristics and conclusions based on the sample and method details extracted from the 18 included articles.
• Identification of research gaps in voice treatment for Parkinson's disease based on the observed reduction in scientific literature.
• Assessment of the cost and accessibility barriers of speech therapy methods based on the description of high-cost or certification-needing techniques.

Strengths

• Review is based on a systematic search of 351 articles from three major databases (PubMed/MEDLINE, SciELO, Lilacs).
• Findings are structured around 18 included studies with details on sample characteristics, treatment type, method, and conclusion.
• Analysis covers a defined 10-year time range (2003-2013) and uses explicit inclusion/exclusion criteria.

Limitations

• The underlying dataset of reviewed articles is not provided; only the review's summary and findings are available.
• Row count and column-level documentation for the compiled study data are unknown.
• The last update date is unknown, and the literature coverage ends in 2013, limiting freshness.
