Front Neurol 2024; 15:1339716.

Abstract
Background Non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD) are highly prevalent and heterogenic. Previous studies aimed to gain more insight on this heterogeneity by investigating age and gender differences in non-motor symptom severity, but findings were inconsistent. Furthermore, besides examining the single effects of age and gender, the interaction between them in relation to non-motor functioning has -as far as we know- not been investigated before. Objectives To investigate the association of age and gender identity -as well as the interaction between age and gender identity- with non-motor symptoms and their impact on quality of life. Methods We combined three large and independent studies. This approach resulted in a total number of unique participants of 1,509. We used linear regression models to assess the association of age and gender identity, and their interaction, with non-motor symptoms and their impact on quality of life. Results Older people with PD generally had worse cognitive functioning, worse autonomic functioning and worse quality of life. Women with PD generally experienced more anxiety, worse autonomic functioning and worse quality of life compared to men with PD, whereas men with PD generally had worse cognitive functioning. In interaction analyses by age and gender identity, depressive symptoms and anxiety were disproportionally worse with increasing age in women compared to men. Conclusion Our findings indicate that both age and gender -as well as their interaction- are differentially associated with non-motor symptoms of PD. Both research and clinical practice should pay more attention to demographic subgroups differences and possible different treatment approaches with respect to age and gender. We showed how combining datasets is of added value in this kind of analyses and encourage others to use similar approaches.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Successful treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD) requires symptom monitoring. Patient-Reported Outcomes in Parkinson's Disease (PRO-PD) is a broad scale that covers 35 motor and nonmotor symptoms, but its validation is limited. OBJECTIVE The aim was to validate PRO-PD in a random sample of outpatients with PD. METHODS Of 2123 PD patients who visited outpatient clinics in West Sweden over a 12-month period, 25% were randomly selected and invited to participate in a longitudinal observational study. Included patients were assessed at baseline, 1 year, and 3 years, with a subset also assessed at 3 to 6 months. The assessments included PRO-PD, other patient-reported scales, and Clinical Impression of Severity Index for Parkinson's Disease (CISI-PD). RESULTS The study included 286 PD patients. PRO-PD ratings were available from 716 (96%) of 747 study visits. All PRO-PD items exhibited positive skewness without ceiling effects. Internal consistency at baseline was excellent (Cronbach's α: 0.93). Six-month test-retest reliability was good (intraclass correlation coefficient: 0.87). Convergent validity was good, with correlation coefficients between total PRO-PD and the 8-Item Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire of 0.70, the Non-Motor Symptoms Questionnaire of 0.70, EuroQoL Five-Dimension Five-Level Scale of 0.71, and CISI-PD of 0.69. Median PRO-PD score at baseline was 995 (interquartile range: 613-1399), with a median yearly increase of 71 (interquartile range: -21 to 111). Items representing axial motor symptoms increased most over time. The minimal clinically important change in total score was 119. CONCLUSIONS PRO-PD was found reliable and valid for monitoring symptoms in a representative sample of outpatients with PD. © 2023 The Authors.

Front Neurol 2023; 13:1081219. [PMID: 36756345 PMCID: PMC9901543 DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2022.1081219] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2022] [Accepted: 12/29/2022] [Indexed: 01/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Non-motor symptoms (NMS) are compulsory clinical features for the clinical diagnosis of multiple system atrophy (MSA), some of which precede motor symptoms onset. To date, few studies have systematically investigated NMS in MSA and the timing of presenting NMS as the disease progresses. Clinically, MSA is difficult to be differentiated from Parkinson's disease (PD) and progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), and the differences in NMS between MSA and PD/PSP remain unclear. The aim of this study was to compare the burden of NMS between MSA and PD/PSP and to delineate the timing of NMS presentation relative to the onset of motor symptoms in MSA. Methods A total of 61, 87, and 30 patients with MSA, PD, and PSP, respectively, were enrolled in this study. NMS was systematically assessed in all patients using the NMS scale (NMSS), and the onset of NMS relative to the onset of motor symptoms in MSA was investigated. Results MSA group had higher total NMSS scores (82.15 ± 46.10) than the PD (36.14 ± 30.78) and PSP (50.30 ± 55.05) groups (p < 0.001 overall). The number distribution pattern of the NMS was significantly different among the three parkinsonian disorders (p < 0.001 overall). In total, 85.2% of patients with MSA had more than 10 NMS, which was significantly higher than PD (28.7%) and PSP (33.3%). The frequency and scores of many NMSS subdomains and symptoms were higher in MSA than in PD and PSP (all p < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that patients with fainting, lack of motivation, swallowing, and loss of sexual interest could be attributed to MSA rather than PD or PSP, while patients with loss of concentration and forgetfulness were characteristic features of PD or PSP rather than MSA. REM-sleep behavior disorder (RBD), constipation, problems having sex, and loss of sexual interest preceded the motor symptoms onset of MSA by 2.81 ± 4.51, 1.54 ± 6.32, 1.35 ± 4.70, and 0.45 ± 3.61 years, respectively. Conclusion The NMS spectrum in MSA differs from that of PD and PSP. Patients with MSA have a higher NMS burden than patients with PD or PSP. RBD, constipation, problems having sex, and loss of sexual interest may become early diagnostic clinical markers of MSA.

Abstract
Background The prevalence and associated factors of dysphagia in Parkinson's disease (PD) are different in studies conducted in different countries. The purpose of our systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the prevalence of dysphagia in PD and to clarify its associated factors. Methods Two researchers systematically searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang Database, SinoMed and VIP databases and manually searched references in the retrieved articles to identify potential research subjects. The last search was conducted on June 28, 2022. Finally, a total of 58 studies including 60 observations with 20,530 PD patients were included in our meta-analysis. Results The meta-analysis estimated that the pooled prevalence rate of dysphagia in PD was 36.9% (95% CI: 30.7–43.6%) and instrumental examination showed a higher prevalence (57.3%, 95% CI: 44.3–69.1%). Oceania showed the highest prevalence of dysphagia in PD (56.3%) compared to Africa (39.5%), Asia (38.6%), Europe (36.1%) and America (28.9%). Dysphagia in PD was associated with older age, lower body mass index, longer disease duration, higher Hoehn and Yahr stage and levodopa equivalent daily dose, PIGD subtype, severe motor symptoms, drooling and higher levels of depression, and lower quality of life. Conclusions In conclusion, our meta-analysis showed that dysphagia occurs in more than one-third of PD patients and was associated with several demographic characteristics and PD-related characteristics, motor symptoms, non-motor symptoms, as well as decreased quality of life. It deserves early screening, diagnosis, and treatment in clinical practice to prevent serious complications from dysphagia.

Abstract
Background: Scientific research increasingly focuses on visual symptoms of people with Parkinson’s disease (PD). However, this mostly involves functional measures, whereas self-reported data are equally important for guiding clinical care. Objective: This review provides an overview of the nature and prevalence of self-reported visual complaints by people with PD, compared to healthy controls. Methods: A systematic literature search was performed. Studies from three databases (PubMed, PsycInfo, and Web of Science) were screened for eligibility. Only studies that reported results of visual self-reports in people with idiopathic PD were included. Results: One hundred and thirty-nine eligible articles were analyzed. Visual complaints ranged from function-related complaints (e.g., blurred vision, double vision, increased sensitivity to light or changes in contrast sensitivity) to activity-related complaints (e.g., difficulty reading, reaching, or driving). Visual complaints were more prevalent in people with PD compared to healthy controls. The presence of visual complaints leads to a reduced quality of life (QoL). Increased prevalence and severity of visual complaints in people with PD are related to longer disease duration, higher disease severity, and off-state. Conclusion: A large proportion of people with PD have visual complaints, which negatively affect QoL. Complaints are diverse in nature, and specific and active questioning by clinicians is advised to foster timely recognition, acknowledgement, and management of these complaints.

Abstract
Quality of life (QOL) plays an important role in independent living in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients, being crucial to know what factors impact QoL throughout the course of the disease. Here we identified predictors of QoL impairment in PD patients from a Spanish cohort. PD patients recruited from 35 centers of Spain from the COPPADIS cohort from January 2016, to November 2017, were followed up during 2 years. Health-related QoL (HRQoL) and global QoL (GQoL) were assessed with the 39-item Parkinson's disease Questionnaire (PDQ-39) and the EUROHIS-QOL 8-item index (EUROHIS-QOL8), respectively, at baseline (V0) and at 24 months ± 1 month (V2). Clinically significant QoL impairment was defined as presenting an increase (PDQ-39SI) or decrement (EUROHIS-QOL8) at V2 ≥ 10% of the score at baseline (V0). A comparison with a control group was conducted for GQoL. GQoL did not change significantly in PD patients (N = 507; p = 0.686) or in the control group (N = 119; p = 0.192). The mean PDQ-39SI was significantly increased in PD patients (62.7 ± 8.5 years old; 58.8% males; N = 500) by 21.6% (from 16.7 ± 13 to 20.3 ± 16.4; p < 0.0001) at V2. Ninety-three patients (18.6%) presented a clinically significant HRQoL impairment at V2. To be younger (OR = 0.896; 95% CI 0.829-0.968; p = 0.006), to be a female (OR = 4.181; 95% CI 1.422-12.290; p = 0.009), and to have a greater increase in BDI-II (Beck Depression Inventory-II) (OR = 1.139; 95% CI 1.053-1.231; p = 0.001) and NMSS (Non-Motor Symptoms Scale) (OR = 1.052; 95% CI 1.027-1.113; p < 0.0001) total scores from V0 to V2 were associated with clinically significant HRQoL impairment at the 2-year follow-up (Hosmer-Lemeshow test, p = 0.665; R2 = 0.655). An increase in ≥5 and ≥10 points of BDI-II and NMSS total score at V2 multiplied the probability of presenting clinically significant HRQoL impairment by 5 (OR = 5.453; 95% CI 1.663-17.876; p = 0.005) and 8 (OR = 8.217; 95% CI, 2.975-22.696; p = 0.002), respectively. In conclusion, age, gender, mood, and non-motor impairment were associated with clinically significant HRQoL impairment after the 2-year follow-up in PD patients.

Longitudinal evolution of non-motor symptoms in early Parkinson's disease: a 3-year prospective cohort study. NPJ PARKINSONS DISEASE 2021; 7:58.

Abstract
The progression of global non-motor symptoms (NMS) in Chinese patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) has not been explored. We aimed to examine the longitudinal evolution of overall NMS in a 3-year prospective Chinese cohort with early-stage PD. We included 224 patients with early PD who underwent annual evaluation of motor and non-motor symptoms. NMS was assessed using the non-motor symptoms scale (NMSS). We observed an increased number of NMS in the majority of the NMSS domains except mood/apathy and sexual dysfunctions. Significant deterioration was observed in the sleep/fatigue, perceptual problems/hallucinations, attention/memory, gastrointestinal, urinary, and miscellaneous domains during the follow-up (P < 0.05). Notably, the number and the score of sexual dysfunctions decreased with the progression of the disease. All NMSS domains showed a small effect size from baseline to 1-, 2-, and 3-year follow-ups (effect size < 0.5). The generalized estimating equations model indicated that the total number of NMS was significantly associated with age and the Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) III score (P < 0.05). Multiple logistic regression indicated that a high number of NMS at baseline was associated with a 3-point, a 6-point, and a 9-point increase in the UPDRS III score from baseline to 1-year (odds ratio [OR] 1.074, P = 0.017), 2-year (OR 1.113, P = 0.001), and 3-year (OR 1.117, P < 0.001), respectively. Our study indicated that overall NMS evolution in early PD is mild and multidimensional; a high NMS burden in early PD predicts the faster motor progression of PD. Our study is helpful for understanding the longitudinal evolution of NMS in PD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore small fiber somatosensory and sympathetic function in PD and MSA. METHODS We recruited 20 PD patients (7 women, median age 65.5 years; IQR 54.75-70.0), 10 MSA patients (4 women; median age 68 years; IQR 66.25-74.0), and 10 healthy subjects (HC; 4 women, median age 68; IQR 59.0-71.0 years). Autonomic testing included forehead cooling, intradermal microdialysis of norepinephrine (NE; 10-5; 10-6; 10-7; and 10-8), and orthostatic hypotension (OH); somatosensory testing included quantitative sensory testing (QST) according to the protocol of the German Research Network on Neuropathic Pain (DFNS). RESULTS OH occurred more frequently in PD (p = 0.018) and MSA (p = 0.002) compared to HC. Vasoconstriction responses were stronger in PD compared to MSA during forehead cooling (p = 0.044) and microdialysis of physiologically concentrated NE solutions (10-7; 10-8; p = 0.017). PD and MSA had impaired cold (PD: p < 0.01; MSA: p < 0.05) and warm detection thresholds (PD and MSA, both p < 0.05). The mechanical detection threshold was higher in PD (p < 0.01). Conversely, mechanical pain thresholds were decreased in PD and MSA (both p < 0.001), indicating mechanical hyperalgesia. CONCLUSION In contrast to MSA, we found evidence of peripheral adrenoreceptor hypersensitivity in PD, probably caused by peripheral sympathetic denervation. Sensory testing revealed peripheral neuropathy and central pain sensitization in PD and MSA. Jointly, our data demonstrate autonomic and somatosensory dysfunction in PD and MSA.

Abstract
The Non-Motor Symptoms Scale (NMSS) was developed and validated in 2007 as the first instrument for the comprehensive assessment of a range of non-motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD). Thirteen years have elapsed since its introduction and extensive international validation with good psychometric attributes has been carried out. Here, we review the validation data of the NMSS and its cross-validity with other scales, and describe the key evidence derived from use of the NMSS in clinical studies. To date, over 100 clinical studies and trials have made use of it as an outcome measure, showing consistent and strong correlations between NMSS burden and health-related quality of life measures. Moreover, the scale has shown to be capable of detecting longitudinal changes in non-motor symptoms, where studies have shown differential changes over time of several of the NMSS domains. The scale has become a key outcome in several randomized clinical trials. Highlighting the prevalence and importance of non-motor symptoms to quality of life in patients with PD, the development of NMSS has also been useful in signposting clinical and biomarker based research addressing non-motor symptoms in PD.

Non-motor symptoms depending on motor severity in Japanese patients with Parkinson's disease: A multicenter cross-sectional study. J Neurol Sci 2020; 412:116641. [PMID: 32151836 DOI: 10.1016/j.jns.2019.116641] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/24/2019] [Revised: 12/03/2019] [Accepted: 12/18/2019] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although non-motor symptoms (NMS) in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) often worsen as the severity of motor symptoms (MS) increases, few studies have assessed the associated factors of non-motor symptoms. OBJECTIVE This study aims to determine whether the presence of NMS in PD patients is associated with or independent from the severity of MS considering confounders. METHODS The registry of PD patients from seven facilities in Japan was used. Multiple logistic regression was performed with each domain and item of the Non-motor Symptoms Scale (NMSS) as objective variables. Severity of motor symptoms was assessed by Hoehn & Yahr stage (HY stage) as an explanatory variable. The analysis was adjusted for sex, age, disease duration, presence/absence of wearing off and dyskinesia, clinical phenotypes and Levodopa equivalent daily dose. RESULTS A total of 1037 patients were analyzed. Analysis by NMSS domain showed higher odds ratios (ORs) in patients with higher HY stages compared with patients with lower HY stages for domains D1 (cardiovascular), D2 (sleep/fatigue), D3 (mood/apathy), D4 (perceptual problems/hallucinations), D5 (attention/memory), and D6 (gastrointestinal) (ORs: 1.54-2.72, P < .05). However, only domains D7 (urinary) and D8 (sexual dysfunction) were not associated with HY stage. Item 2 (fainting) and Item 14 (delusions) showed higher ORs in the HY stage 4-5 (ORs: 9.95 and 5.92, P < .05). CONCLUSIONS Most NMS worsened with exacerbation of MS in PD patients, however some NMS domains were also affected with other factors. These findings contribute to the understanding of the clinical picture of PD and may improve personalized medicine and research in PD.

Nocturia and Nocturnal Polyuria in Neurological Patients: From Epidemiology to Treatment. A Systematic Review of the Literature. Eur Urol Focus 2020; 6:922-934. [PMID: 32192920 DOI: 10.1016/j.euf.2020.02.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2019] [Revised: 01/12/2020] [Accepted: 02/10/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
CONTEXT Nocturia is among the most common and bothersome lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), but there is no clear consensus on how to identify and manage this symptom in the neurological population. OBJECTIVE To systematically review the literature about nocturia in neurological patients. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION Studies were identified by electronic search of Cochrane and Medline databases. The studies were included if their participants had acquired neurological pathology among multiple sclerosis (MS), Parkinson's disease (PD), stroke, spinal cord injury (SCI), and reported data on the epidemiology, aetiology, diagnosis, or treatment of nocturia. An independent extraction of the articles was performed by two authors using predetermined datasets, including quality-of-study indicators. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS A total of 132 studies were included; 46 evaluated the epidemiology of nocturia, 28 the possible aetiologies, 10 the diagnostic tools, and 60 the treatments. Nocturia prevalence ranged from 15% to 96% depending on the pathology and definition used. It was one of the most frequently reported LUTS in PD and stroke patients. Several validated questionnaires were found to screen for nocturia in this population. Causalities were numerous: LUT, renal, sleep, cardiovascular dysfunctions, etc. Treatments targeted these mechanisms, with an overall risk of bias assessed as high or serious. The highest level of evidence was seen in MS patients: pelvic floor muscle training, cannabinoids, and desmopressin were effective, but not melatonin. In stroke patients, transcutaneous sacral and transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (TTNS) improved nocturia; in PD patients, TTNS, solifenacin, and rotigotine did not. CONCLUSIONS Nocturia is highly prevalent in patients with neurological disorders. Causalities and treatments are not different from the general population, but are poorly studied in neurological patients. PATIENT SUMMARY In this report, we looked at the published studies about nocturia-the fact of waking to void during the hours of sleep-in patients with neurological diseases. We found that nocturia is very frequent in this population, that the causes are the same as in the general population but may be combined, and that treatments are also the same but have an overall weak level of evidence. We conclude that more research is needed on this topic.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE With a combination of different sympathetic tests, we aimed to elucidate whether impairment of sympathetic function in Parkinson's disease (PD) is the consequence of a central or peripheral efferent dysfunction. METHODS Thirty-five patients with early-to-intermediate PD (median age: 63 years; IQR: 57-67 years; disease duration 1-9 years, 15 women) and 20 age- and sex-matched healthy controls (median age: 64.5 years; IQR: 58-68 years; 10 women) were recruited. Autonomic testing was performed in two subgroups and included the assessment of resting cardiovascular parameters, postprandial hypotension (PPH), orthostatic hypotension (OH), and vasoconstriction induced by intradermal microdialysis with different concentrations of norepinephrine (NE; 10-5 ; 10-6 ; 10-7 ; 10-8 ) and by cold through forehead cooling. We also used sympathetic multiunit microneurography (muscle sympathetic nerve activity; MSNA; burst frequency (BF): bursts per minute; burst incidence (BI): bursts per 100 heart beats) and evaluated the presence of phosphorylated α-synuclein deposits in skin innervation in biopsies from the thighs by immunohistohemistry. RESULTS Diastolic blood pressure was higher in the PD group at rest (p < .001) and during OH (F = 6.533; p = .022). Vasoconstriction induced by NE microdialysis and cold was unchanged in PD patients. MSNA was lower in PD patients than in controls (BF: p = .001; BI: p = .025). Phosphorylated α-synuclein deposits could be found only in PD patients. CONCLUSION We did not find indications for peripheral sympathetic nerve fiber dysfunction or adrenoreceptor sensitivity changes. The decreased MSNA argues in favor of central sympathetic impairment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As a multisystemic neurodegenerative disorder, Parkinson disease (PD) has a broad spectrum of symptoms including motor and nonmotor symptoms (NMS). As shown in studies, NMS can also impact patient's quality of life, and many of them often go untreated. Chinese herbal medicines with multiconstituent may alleviate NMS in PD patients. This research is carried out to assess the efficacy and safety of a Chinese herbal formula for NMS, with its Chinese name acronym of SQJZ. METHODS/DESIGN It will be a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Idiopathic PD with a Hoehn and Yahr scale score ≤4, aged 18 to 80 years, will be involved. About 240 patients will be randomly assigned to either SQJZ or placebo in a 2:1 ratio. There is a 2-week run-in period before the randomization, and the follow-up will be 24 weeks, including 12-week treatment period, with visit once every 4 weeks and 12-week washout follow-up. All participants are asked to maintain the regular medication schedule. SQJZ formula will consist of Chinese herbs with effects for insomnia, constipation, anxiety, and so on. The primary outcome will be measured using NMS scale, and secondary outcomes will include unified PD rating scale, PD sleep scale, the Parkinson fatigue scale, the constipation severity instrument, and PD Questionnaire-39. The primary efficacy analysis will be based on the intention-to-treat method, and mixed-model repeated-measures analyses will be used. DISCUSSION The findings from this research might provide evidence of the efficacy and safety of SQJZ Chinese herbal formula for treating NMS in PD patients. The results will sustain the broader use of SQJZ formula in PD.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by motor and nonmotor symptoms. Psychosis is a common feature of Parkinson's disease. Parkinson's disease psychosis (PDP) encompasses minor phenomena (illusions, passage hallucinations and presence hallucinations), visual and nonvisual hallucinations and delusions. PDP is associated with reduced function and quality of life. The initial management approach should focus on identification and treatment of any contributory medical factors, reduction or discontinuation of medications with potential to induce or worsen psychosis, nonpharmacological strategies and consideration of acetylcholinesterase inhibitor treatment in the setting of dementia. Pimavanserin, quetiapine and clozapine may all be considered for use in PDP. In this review, we discuss the presentation, diagnosis and management of PDP.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In this study, we aimed to evaluate sexual dysfunction (SD) between two different regions of Turkey in patients with Parkinson's Disease (PD). PATIENTS AND METHODS Forty-three PD patients in Ordu and 71 patients in Istanbul were included. The Unified PD Rating Scale and Hoehn and Yahr Stage (HYS) scale were used to assess disease severity. Cognitive function was assessed by the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). The sexual functions of the patients were evaluated with applying the Turkish version of the Arizona Sexual Experiences Scale (ASEX). RESULTS Mean age of patients in Istanbul was 67.25±8.34years and mean age of patients in Ordu was 67.98±8.93 (p=0.66). There was 87.33% SD in Istanbul group and 95.35% in Ordu group (p=0.20) respectively. In terms of ASEX score, no difference was found between the Istanbul and Ordu groups. ASEX scores were significantly higher in females in both groups. CONCLUSION In this study, we have found that living in the different regions of our country does not have an impact on sexual function in PD patients.

Abstract
Background: Ethnic variations have been described in medical conditions, such as hypertension, diabetes, and multiple sclerosis. Whether ethnicity plays a role in Parkinson's disease (PD), particularly with regard to non-motor symptoms (NMS), remains unclear. Existing literature is diverse, controversial, and inadequately documented. This review aims to analyse and report the currently available literature on NMS, specifically in Asian PD patients. Summary: We conducted a literature review using PubMed, searching for articles and currently available publications that reference and assess NMS in PD patients living in Asia using the validated NMS Questionnaire (NMS Quest) and NMS Scale (NMSS). In total, 24 articles were included: 12 using the NMS Quest and 12 using the NMSS. Symptoms of constipation, memory impairment, and nocturia were the most frequently self-reported symptoms (NMS Quest) in selected Asian populations, while symptoms within the domains sleep/fatigue, attention/memory, and mood/apathy were most prevalent when applying the health-professional completed NMSS. Key Messages: NMS are generally prevalent and highly burdensome within selected Asian PD populations living in countries included in this review. Our review suggests that NMS-driven phenotypic heterogeneity is present in Asian patients, and compared to Western PD populations there might be variations in assessed NMS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-motor symptoms (NMS) are gaining increasing relevance in the management of Parkinson's disease (PD), but little is known about their progression, especially among patients with different ages. METHODS A total of 117 PD patients who were divided into four age groups (<50, 50-60, 60-70, and >70years old) were included to assess NMS at baseline and follow-up visit (21.6±5.6months). The frequency and severity of NMS were assessed using the Non-Motor Symptom Scale (NMSS). RESULTS After adjusting for confounding factors, patients at the last visit had significantly higher frequency of "Difficulty falling asleep" item (p=0.034) and "Urinary" domain (p=0.017), and higher total NMSS score (p=0.011) as well as scores for "Sleep/fatigue" (p=0.013) and "Sexual dysfunction" (p=0.014) domains and scores for "Fatigue" (p=0.004), "Lack of motivation" (p=0.033), "Interest in sex" (p=0.014) and "Problems having sex" (p=0.031) items than patients at baseline. The frequency changes of each NMS among four age groups exhibited an anfractuous result, while the annual severity changes of each NMS were not significant different among four age groups. Multinomial logistic regression model indicated that age had no correlation with the changes of NMS frequency and severity. CONCLUSIONS The severity of NMS in PD tends to become progressively worse with the course of the disease. Age is not related to the progression of NMS in PD.

Abstract
Nonmotor symptoms (NMS) are an important prodromal feature of Parkinson's disease (PD). However, their frequency, treatment rates, and impact on health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) in the early motor phase is unclear. Rates of NMS in enriched at‐risk populations, such as first‐degree PD relatives, have not been delineated. We assessed NMS in an early cohort of PD, first‐degree PD relatives and control subjects to address these questions. In total, 769 population‐ascertained PD subjects within 3.5 years of diagnosis, 98 first‐degree PD relatives, and 287 control subjects were assessed at baseline across the following NMS domains: (1) neuropsychiatric; (2) gastrointestinal; (3) sleep; (4) sensory; (5) autonomic; and (6) sexual. NMS were much more common in PD, compared to control subjects. More than half of the PD cases had hyposmia, pain, fatigue, sleep disturbance, or urinary dysfunction. NMS were more frequent in those with the postural instability gait difficulty phenotype, compared to the tremor dominant (mean total number of NMS 7.8 vs. 6.2; P < 0.001). PD cases had worse HRQoL scores than controls (odds ratio: 4.1; P < 0.001), with depression, anxiety, and pain being stronger drivers than motor scores. NMS were rarely treated in routine clinical practice. First‐degree PD relatives did not significantly differ in NMS, compared to controls, in this baseline study. NMS are common in early PD and more common in those with postural instability gait difficulty phenotype or on treatment. Despite their major impact on quality of life, NMS are usually under‐recognized and untreated. © 2015 The Authors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to investigate the differences in the prevalence and severity of NMS between patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) who manifest camptocormia and those who do not manifest camptocormia. METHODS A total of 50 PD patients with camptocormia and 50 gender and disease duration 1:1 matched patients with PD but without camptocormia were included in this case-control study. The severity of motor symptoms was assessed with the Unified PD Rating Scale (UPDRS) part III and Hoehn and Yahr (H&Y) staging. The prevalence and severity of NMS were assessed with non-motor symptom scale (NMSS). RESULTS Patients with PD exhibiting camptocormia showed significantly higher scores in UPDRS part III and H&Y staging than those who do not exhibit camptocormia (P < 0.05). The frequency of the cardiovascular domain with the item of "light-headedness/dizziness", the gastrointestinal domain with the item of "dribbling saliva", and the miscellaneous domain with the items of "taste or smell change", "weight change", and "excessive sweating" was significantly higher in PD patients with camptocormia compared with those without camptocormia (P < 0.05). The mean scores of sleep/fatigue and perceptual problems/hallucinations domains, the mood/apathy domain with the item of "feelings of nervousness" in PD patients with camptocormia were higher than in those without camptocormia (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS PD patients manifesting camptocormia are likely subjected to NMS than patients without camptocormia, especially autonomic and miscellaneous symptoms. These patients also suffered from more severe neuropsychiatric symptoms and sleep disorders.
