Non-motor symptoms in parkinson’s disease

European Journal of Neurology 2008, 15 (Suppl. 1): 14–20 Non-motor symptoms in ParkinsonÕs disease W. PoeweDepartment of Neurology, Medical University of Innsbruck, Innsbruck, Austria Although still considered a paradigmatic movement disorder, ParkinsonÕs disease (PD) is associated with a broad spectrum of non-motor symptoms. These include disorders of mood and affect with apathy, anhedonia and depression, cognitive dys- function and hallucinosis, as well as complex behavioural disorders. Sensory dys- function with hyposmia or pain is almost universal, as are disturbances of sleep–wakecycle regulation. Autonomic dysfunction including orthostatic hypotension, urogeni- tal dysfunction and constipation is also present to some degree in a majority of patients. Whilst overall non-motor symptoms become increasingly prevalent withadvancing disease, many of them can also antedate the first occurrence of motor signs– most notably depression, hyposmia or rapid eye movement sleep behaviour disorder(RBD). Although exact clinicopathological correlations for most of these non-motorfeatures are still poorly understood, the occurrence of constipation, RBD or hyposmiaprior to the onset of clinically overt motor dysfunction would appear consistent withthe ascending hypothesis of PD pathology proposed by Braak and colleagues.
Screening these early non-motor features might, therefore, be one approach towardsearly ÔpreclinicalÕ diagnosis of PD. This review article provides an overview of theclinical spectrum of non-motor symptoms in PD together with a brief review oftreatment options.

Recently, it has also become patients present with one or more of the cardinal motor clearer that in PD, non-motor dysfunction may actually features. Current treatment strategies focus on dopa- antedate overt signs and symptoms of motor distur- mine replacement to correct at least partially the dis- bance [5]. A recent hypothesis about neuropathological turbances of movement caused by striatal dopamine stages of PD suggests that Lewy body pathology in the deficiency.

It is, quality of life, progression of overall disability and therefore, not surprising that the majority of patients with PD, if not all of them, reveal a variety of non-motor symptoms, either as spontaneous complaint or upon specific questioning [3,4]. In addition, drugs usedto treat motor symptoms frequently induce non-motor Non-motor symptoms in PD involve a multitude offunctions including sleep–wake cycle regulation, cog-nitive function, regulation of mood and hedonistic tone, Correspondence: Prof. W.

Recent data suggest that idiopathic hyposmia inasymptomatic first-degree relatives of PD patients is associated with an increased risk to develop overt PD and may thus be an early preclinical sign or even a riskmarker for the general population [6].

This figure has been confirmed by more recent studies showing the Lewy body pathology in the peripheral autonomic presence of depressive symptoms in 36–50% of patients nervous system in PD also includes the myenteric with PD [31]. It has been suggested that the majority of plexus with subsequent colonic sympathetic denerva- depressed PD patients meet criteria for major depres- tion [23]. Clinically, this is associated with a high sion according to DSM-IV [32], whilst more recent prevalence of prolonged intestinal transit time and series suggest that this percentage may actually be much constipation in PD. Several case–control studies havereported increased prevalence of constipation in PD ofbetween 28% and 61% as compared with controls Table 3 Practical management of autonomic dysfunction in (6–33%) [24–26] and one series even found either con- stipation or prolonged intestinal transit time in 80% ofpatients with PD [27]. Importantly, constipation has been reported as a prominent complaint before onset of overt motor symptoms in about half of the patients in one series [25]. In line with such observations, a large prospective follow-up study in 6790 male participants in the Honolulu Heart Programme found evidence for a 2.7–4.5 fold increase in relative risk for PD in males with <1 bowel movement per day as compared with subjects with one, two or more movements per day [28].

The underlying pathology may include Alzheimer-type changes, cor- tical Lewy body degeneration and vascular lesions, but Lewy body degeneration has been suggested to be the major driving factor for the development of dementia in PD [36].
