Objective: To investigate whether the dance therapy was more beneficial than non-dance therapy on cognitive and mood symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Methods: MEDLINE, CINAHL, Embase and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched from inception to December 11, 2018. Risk of bias for the included trials was assessed using criteria in the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions. Results: Seven randomized controlled trials were identified on cognitive and mood symptoms in patients with PD. There were significant differences in favor of dance in executive function (WMD = 1.17, 95% CI:0.39 to 1.95, P = 0.003; I2 = 0%, P = 0.45), but not in outcomes of global cognitive function, depression and apathy. Conclusions: Dance therapy is beneficial in improving executive function for adults with PD. However, there are no positive effects were founded on global cognitive function, depression and apathy for PD.
