Non-motor symptoms in early Parkinson's disease: a 2-year follow-up study on previously untreated patients

Abstract: We reported for the first time a 2-year prospective study on non-motor symptoms before and after starting therapy in newly diagnosed PD patients. Even if non-motor symptoms are very frequent in early stage, they tend to remain stable during the early phase of disease, being only few non-motor symptoms affected from dopaminergic therapy and, specifically, by the use of dopamine agonists.

“…3,4 However, most previous studies of NMS used hospital-based prevalent PD cases, had small sample sizes, and often lacked a comparable control group. Although a few studies did assess NMS among patients with untreated, de novo PD, 5-8 most did not have sufficient sample size to evaluate potential sex differences [5][6][7] or focused executively on one or a limited number of specific symptoms. Therefore, little is known about the burden of the wide spectrum of NMS in patients with de novo, untreated PD.…”

“…Reports of selective, longitudinal investigations of nonmotor signs (NMS), [6][7][8] neuroimaging, and laboratory analyses 9 have been previously published as potential markers of progression. 10 These investigations were largely conducted in smaller cohorts and focused on single symptoms/measures and frequently relied on more advanced PD cases, and lacked age-matched healthy controls.…”

“…Compounding the group of non-motor symptoms, behavioral alterations caused by dopamine disregulation can be characterized by hypersexuality, compulsive jealousy, dysphoria, gambling, among others (13) . When considering the rehabilitation program, attention to this diagnosis becomes necessary for interventionist actions that require team decision making together, because in this case there is important discussion between the nurse and the medical team for medical setting, and the psychology team for guidance on the management of symptoms (2,12,20) . Likewise, we highlight the changes in memory, which are also considered non-motor symptoms and are related to the more advanced stages of PD.…”
