✅   Evaluating the occupation-based complex intervention for living well with anxiety and Parkinsons disease (OBtAIN-PD) in community rehabilitation teams in the UK: a feasibility cluster randomised controlled trial protocol

Introduction Anxiety is a common non-motor symptom of Parkinson’s that is associated with reduced life quality, independence and health outcomes. Current anxiolytic medications and the most promising behavioural interventions have inconclusive and mixed results. Occupational therapy is effective at promoting participation in activities of daily living and is recommended in national guidelines. This cluster randomised controlled trial aims to test the feasibility and fidelity of a new occupation-based complex intervention for living well with anxiety in Parkinson’s disease (OBtAIN-PD). No such evidence-based intervention currently exists. Methods and analysis 50 people with Parkinson’s will be recruited from Devon, UK, to undertake the OBtAIN-PD or usual care delivered by community-based occupational therapists across two National Health Service sites.
