Non-motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease

Ronald F Pfeiffer. Parkinsonism Relat Disord. 2016 Jan.

Abstract

With the growing awareness of the presence of non-motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD) has come the realization that these non-motor features play a tremendously important, and sometimes dominant, role in the management and even the diagnosis of the disorder. Despite this, a reluctance to formally address and treat the non-motor symptoms of PD remains and quality of life for PD patients suffers. This review provides an overview of the impact non-motor symptoms have on persons with PD, along with a brief description of some of the more common non-motor features of PD.

Keywords: Nonmotor dysfunction; Parkinson's disease.
