Prevalence of Nonmotor Symptoms in Parkinson’s Disease
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 9
Abstract
Non motor symptoms(NMS) in Parkinson’s Disease constitute a major clinical challenge, as they are common,yet often overshadowed by the dominance of motor symptoms and high unawareness of these among treating health care professionals. These NMS significantly affect the quality of life and may precipitate hospitalization. Although common the NMS of PD are not well recognised in clinical practice. The aim of our study was to find the prevalence of nonmotor features across the various stages of Idiopathic Parkinson’s Disease and 2) to correlate it with the severity and duration of the disease.
