Frequency, type and factors associated with the use of complementary and alternative medicine in patients with Parkinson'sCAM use is rather common among PD outpatients, with one in three having experience of CAM practices. 01 September 2010
The challenge of non-motor symptoms in Parkinson's diseaseThe non-motor symptoms (NMS) of Parkinson's disease (PD) are often poorly recognized and inadequately treated in contrast to motor symptoms and a modern holistic approach to treatment of PD should, therefore, include recognition and assessment of NMS. 01 September 2010
Late-stage Parkinson's disease: the Barcelona and Lisbon cohortStudies of late stages of Parkinson's disease (LS-PD) are limited. To provide an adequate health plan for patients in these most advanced stages, accurate information on their clinical condition is necessary. 23 April 2010
Bladder symptoms assessed with overactive bladder questionnaire in Parkinson's diseaseIn Parkinson's disease (PD) the urinary dysfunction manifests primarily with symptoms of overactive bladder (OAB). The OAB questionnaire (OAB-q) is a measure designed to assess the impact of OAB symptoms on health-related quality of life. In this study, we quantified the urinary symptoms in a large cohort of PD patients by using the OAB-q short form. Possible correlations between the OAB-q and clinical features were tested. 25 March 2010
Optimizing care of residents with Parkinsonism in supervised facilitiesThis paper aims to determine if the care of PWP in residential facilities could be improved by addressing staff knowledge on Parkinson related issues. 17 March 2010
Does age make a difference in caregiver strain? Comparison of young versus older caregivers in early-stage Parkinson's diseaseDespite the importance of age and developmental stage there is a paucity of research comparing young versus older spouse caregivers. This study compared the difference in negative aspects of strain and modulators of strain in young and older PD spouse caregivers. 03 March 2010
Parkinson's Disease: Health-Related Quality of Life, Economic Cost, and Implications of Early TreatmentTo date, numerous compounds have been evaluated in clinical trials, including coenzyme Q10, creatine, levodopa, pramipexole, rasagiline, ropinirole, and selegiline. None has demonstrated irrefutable and enduring disease-modifying qualities, although the best available clinical evidence appears most promising for rasagiline. 01 March 2010
The Impact of Levodopa on Quality of Life in Patients With Parkinson DiseaseParkinson disease (PD) is associated with a progressive decline in patient quality of life (QoL), because of motor and nonmotor manifestations of PD and treatment-related side effects. 01 March 2010
A Meta-Analysis of Performance on Emotion Recognition Tasks in Parkinson's DiseaseA meta-analysis of 34 comparisons, using data from 1,295 individual participants, was conducted to (a) provide a reliable estimate of the magnitude of the purported deficit in emotion recognition and (b) examine the influence of several potential moderators of emotion recognition abilities in PD. 01 March 2010
Current concepts in the management of Parkinson diseaseNon-motor symptoms, such as mood disorders, cognitive impairment, autonomic dysfunction and sleep disorders, are responsible for significant morbidity. Management often requires a multidisciplinary approach. 01 February 2010
