AI simplified
Abstract
Among 52 patients with Parkinson's disease, sleep/fatigue and mood/cognitive issues were the most prevalent non-motor symptoms.
- Non-motor symptoms significantly impact quality of life in Parkinson's disease patients.
- Sleep/fatigue, mood/cognition, and gastrointestinal issues are linked to poorer quality of life scores.
- Higher scores on the Non-Motor Symptom Scale are associated with worse quality of life outcomes.
- The findings suggest a need for management approaches that address non-motor symptoms alongside motor symptoms.
