Objectives: To pinpoint which clinical signs and symptoms best discriminate between FGF14 + from FGF14 - patients at symptoms' onset.
Article Synopsis
- The announcement of Parkinson's disease (PD) diagnosis often leads to negative emotions for patients, impacting their coping strategies and overall adjustment to the condition.
- A national French survey involving 397 recent PwPD, along with their caregivers and healthcare professionals, found that 60% of patients were not expecting their diagnosis and 82% experienced negative feelings, particularly influenced by male gender and older age.
- There is a significant need for improved communication and support during the diagnosis process, as many PwPD and caregivers felt they lacked sufficient information and expressed a desire for multidisciplinary follow-up.
Background: Among the different types of pain related to Parkinson's disease (PD), parkinsonian central pain (PCP) is the most disabling.
Objectives: We investigated the analgesic efficacy of two therapeutic strategies (opioid with oxycodone- prolonged-release (PR) and higher dose of levodopa/benserazide) compared with placebo in patients with PCP.
Methods: OXYDOPA was a randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, placebo-controlled, multicenter parallel-group trial run at 15 centers within the French NS-Park network.
