Handbook of Non-Motor Symptoms in Parkinson's Disease

Abstract

The non-motor symptoms (NMSs) of Parkinson’s disease (PD) remain an under-recognized and, consequently, under-treated set of symptoms. There is a wide variety of NMSs, ranging from neuropsychiatric and autonomic dysfunction to sleep disturbance and other symptoms. Figure 1.1 outlines the NMS complex of PD. Some NMSs can be related to dopaminergic treatment, such as dopamine dysregulation syndrome, drug-induced hallucinations or psychosis, and postural hypotension, whereas fluctuations in motor responses may also have major non-motor components— the so—called non-motor fluctuation [1].
