NON-MOTOR SYMPTOMS OF PARKINSON'S DISEASE

K.Ray Chaudhuri, Eduardo Tolosa, Anthony H.V.Schapira, Werner Poewe

Publisher's description : Patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) are known to suffer from motor symptoms, but also experience non-motor symptoms (NMS) that are often present before diagnosis or that inevitably emerge with disease progression. The motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease have been extensively researched, and effective clinical tools for their assessment and treatment are readily available. Researchers have recently begun to focus on the NMS of Parkinson's Disease, which are poorly recognized and inadequately treated. NMS have an impact on patient quality of life and mortality and include neuropsychiatric, sleep-related, autonomic, gastrointestinal, and sensory symptoms. Some NMS can be improved with available treatments, but others will require research into novel therapies. This new edition summarizes the current understanding of NMS in Parkinson's disease and future research.
