Objectives: The aim of the study was to report 4 patients with Parkinson disease (PD) and On-period blepharospasm (BS).
Methods: We analyzed patients with PD and motor fluctuations who developed BS in several different centers in Latin America.
Results: Four patients had BS while in the ON periods.
Objectives: Impulse control disorder (ICD) is a common adverse effect in patients with Parkinson disease who receive dopamine agonists; however, other factors are involved in its manifestations. To study the frequency and factors involved in the development of this adverse effect in a Latin American population, we conducted a cross-sectional multicenter study.
Methods: Two hundred fifty-five patients in 3 Latin American centers were evaluated by examination and application of scales (Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale, Questionnaire for Impulsive-Compulsive Disorders in Parkinson's Disease-Rating Scale, Hoehn and Yahr, Clinical Impression of Severity Index for Parkinson's Disease).
