VERDECIA AGUILAR, Merlin et al. Characterization of non-motor symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease. Multimed [online]. 2022, vol.26, n.5 Epub 28-Set-2022. ISSN 1028-4818.
Introduction:
Parkinson's disease is one of the most frequent degenerative diseases and is characterized by non-motor clinical manifestations.
Objective:
to characterize the non-motor clinical manifestations of patients suffering from Parkinson's disease.
Methods:
an observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted. The universe consisted of patients with Parkinson's disease who attended the movement disorders consultation of the Carlos Manuel de Céspedes General Provincial Hospital in the period from July 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020, while the sample was made up of patients who completed all clinimetric tests and who gave their informed consent to participate in the study.
Results:
the mean age was 69.05 years, predominantly male. The average scores of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment and the Unified Parkinson's Disease Scale modified by the Society for Movement Disorders (part I) were 17.95 and 9.85 respectively.
Conclusions:
The most affected domains were: urinary, gastrointestinal and sleep/fatigue. The average score obtained when applying the Montreal Cognitive Assessment was low. The non-motor impact of Parkinson's disease on daily life experiences was high.
