Background: Parkinson’s disease dementia (PDD) affects 30–80% of Parkinson’s patients within a decade of diagnosis, with limited treatment efficacy from conventional therapies. This study evaluates the novel integration of Quantum Resonance Therapy (QRT)—combining Celtron’s Magnetic Mechanic Oscillator (MMO; 8–12 Hz) and Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF; 10–30 Hz)—with traditional physiotherapy to address motor and non-motor symptoms in PDD through mechanobiological mechanisms.

Objective: To assess the clinical efficacy of QRT + physiotherapy in alleviating motor rigidity, gait dysfunction, cognitive decline, and caregiver burden, while elucidating underlying mechano-transduction and neuroplasticity pathways.

Materials and Methods: A prospective observational study (STROBE-compliant) was conducted on a 50+ year-old PDD patient (DSM-5-confirmed, MMSE ≤24). The 6-week intervention included:

QRT: MMO (20 min/session, prone) + PEMF (8–12 Hz, 10 mT) twice weekly.

Physiotherapy: Balance/strength training, dual-task exercises, and aerobic activity thrice weekly. Caregiver education: Two sessions on mobility/behaviour management. Outcomes were tracked using: Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Dynamic Gait Index (DGI), Mini-Mental State Exam (MMSE), Quality of Life in Dementia (QOL-D), and Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI).

Results: Significant improvements were observed post-intervention: Motor Function: BBS increased 140% (10 → 24/56; reduced fall risk), DGI improved 500% (1 → 6/24). These improvements exceed historical benchmarks from conventional physiotherapy-only interventions, which typically show 30-50% improvements in balance scores and 20-30% gains in gait measures in similar PDD populations.

Cognition: MMSE rose 22% (18 → 22/30). This cognitive improvement compares favorably to historical data showing 5-10% MMSE improvements with standard care alone in PDD patients.

Quality of Life: QOL-D increased 51% (45 → 68/100). Caregiver Burden: ZBI decreased 40% (42→25/88). Synergistic effects of QRT + physiotherapy outperformed conventional therapy benchmarks, correlating with enhanced cortical excitability (PEMF) and reduced fascial rigidity (MMO).

Conclusion: QRT + physiotherapy significantly improved motor-cognitive function and reduced caregiver burden in PDD, likely through mechano-biological (MMO-induced fascial remodeling) and neuroplastic (PEMF-mediated dopaminergic modulation) mechanisms. This cost-effective, non-invasive protocol warrants validation in larger randomized trials, with potential to redefine PDD rehabilitation paradigms.
