Urinary dysfunction in Parkinson’s disease patients

2016

Background: Autonomic nervous system dysfunction that affects 70–80% of Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients, causes significant morbidity and it is correlated with poor quality of life. Objective: We assessed in a consecutive series of PD patients frequency of autonomic symptoms by means of the Scale for Outcomes for Parkinson’s disease AUTonomic (SCOPA-AUT) and we correlated it with the results of noninvasive urological studies (nUS). Methods: PD patients with known conditions that might have influenced urinary function were excluded. Clinical assessment of PD patients included the H&Y staging, UPDRS, BDI, NPI, PDQ- 39, PDSS, ESS, and the SCOPA-AUT scale. nUS consisted of uroflowmetry an…

MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING–GUIDED FOCUSED ULTRASOUND THALAMOTOMY IN PATIENT WITH TREMOR COMBINED WITH PARKINSONISM: RETREATMENT AFTER BENEFIT DECAY

2019

Background In recent years, transcranial Magnetic Resonance-guided Focused UltraSounds (tcMRgFUS) treatments for functional neurological disorders are giving a new thrust to the field of therapeutic brain lesioning. This technique has been proven safe and effective in selected patients. Here we present the case of a patient affected by tremor combined with parkinsonism who underwent a second tcMRgFUS thalamotomy because of relapsing tremor after a few months from the first tcMRgFUS treatment. Materials and Methods A 72-year-old, right-handed man, who came to our observation because of a disabling tremor affecting mainly his upper right limb and refusing any invasive surgical procedure. His …

Transcranial direct current stimulation for treatment of freezing of gait: a cross-over study.

2014

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Progression of Parkinson's disease (PD) is frequently characterized by the occurrence of freezing of gait (FOG) representing a disabling motor complication. We aim to investigate safety and efficacy of transcranial direct current stimulation of the primary motor cortex of PD patients with FOG. METHODS: In this cross-over, double-blind, sham-controlled study, 10 PD patients with FOG persisting in "on" state underwent anodal and sham direct current stimulation for 5 consecutive days. Clinical assessment over a 1-month period was performed. RESULTS: A significant improvement of gait, as assessed by the Stand Walk Sit test, with reduction in number and duration of FOG …
