Article Synopsis
- Parkinson's disease (PD) significantly impacts the health-related quality of life (HR-QoL) of patients and their caregivers, especially as the disease progresses.
- The study investigated how neuropsychiatric symptoms—specifically mood and apathy—affected HR-QoL in patients and increased caregiver burden.
- Results showed a strong link between these neuropsychiatric symptoms and lower HR-QoL, suggesting that addressing these issues could help improve the well-being of both patients and caregivers.
Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is an atypical Parkinson syndrome with axial akinetic-rigid symptoms, early postural instability, and ocular motor impairments. Patients experience a rapid loss of autonomy and care dependency; thus, caregivers must assist in the activities of daily living early in the course of the disease. Caregiver burden is an extremely important factor in disease management.
