Abstract
Sensory disturbances are among the most common non-motor symptoms (NMSs), experienced by between 30 % and 95 % of patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) [1]. Nevertheless, sensory NMSs remain underreported, under-recognized and poorly understood. Similarly, controversy, misconceptions and uncertainty surround fatigue and weight change, which are also common NMSs among PD patients.
