Summary/Abstract: The importance of religion in people's lives is due to the fact that religiosity is a very used mechanism to cope with all kinds of problems and especially those related to health, religion and therefore praying is a veridical mechanism for coping with stress. In Parkinson’s disease, the patients experience a wide variety of symptoms that address both the physical and the psychic and also a large variety of subsidiary diseases that can greatly influence the course of the basic disease and the quality of patients' lives. Experiencing the effects of religiosity and more precisely, the power of prayer in the life of patients with Parkinson's disease to test the desirable beneficial outcomes becomes an interesting alternative in the possibility of discovering a non-pharmaceutical method that changes the symptoms of the disease.
