Background And Objective: Dysphagia at time of diagnosis suggests atypical parkinsonism instead Parkinson´s disease (PD). Our aim was to analyze the frequency of dysphagia in patients with early PD comparing with a control group and to identify related factors.

Patients And Methods: Patients with early PD (≤ 2 years from symptoms onset) who were recruited from January/2016 to November/2017 (baseline visit; V0) and evaluated annually for 5 years from the Spanish cohort COPPADIS were included in this prospective study.

Article Synopsis
  • Myofascial trigger points (TrPs) are sensitive spots in muscles that cause both local and referred pain; this study explores their role in patients with cervical dystonia (CD).
  • A total of 31 participants were assessed for TrPs in specific neck and shoulder muscles, and pain levels were documented using the Toronto Western Spasmodic Torticollis Rating Scale.
  • The study found that only patients with pain had active TrPs, while all patients had latent TrPs, suggesting that active TrPs may contribute to pain and disability in CD.

Background: Levodopa-induced dyskinesias (LID) are frequent in Parkinson's disease (PD).

Objective: To analyze the change in the frequency of LID over time, identify LID related factors, and characterize how LID impact on patients' quality of life (QoL).

Patients And Methods: PD patients from the 5-year follow-up COPPADIS cohort were included.

This exploratory study evaluated the presence of sensitization-associated and neuropathic-like symptoms and identified their association with pressure sensitivity, pain, and disability in patients with cervical dystonia (CD). Thirty-one patients with CD (74.2% women, age: 61.

Background And Objective: Recently, we demonstrated that staging Parkinson's disease (PD) with a novel simple classification called MNCD, based on four axes (motor, non-motor, cognition, and dependency) and five stages, correlated with disease severity and patients' quality of life. Here, we analyzed the correlation of MNCD staging with PD caregiver's status.

Patients And Methods: Data from the baseline visit of PD patients and their principal caregiver recruited from 35 centers in Spain from the COPPADIS cohort from January 2016 to November 2017 were used to apply the MNCD total score (from 0 to 12) and MNCD stages (from 1 to 5) in this cross-sectional analysis.

Background And Objective: A good response to levodopa is a key factor to indicate device-aided therapies in people with Parkinson's disease (PwPD). The aim of the present study was to analyze the response to levodopa in PwPD with motor fluctuations followed for 4 years.

Patients And Methods: PwPD with motor fluctuations recruited from January 2016 to November 2017 from the COPPADIS cohort and assessed annually (from baseline to 4-year follow-up) during the OFF and ON states were included in this analysis.

Background And Objective: Patients with young-onset Parkinson's disease (YOPD) have a slower progression. Our aim was to analyze the change in cognitive function in YOPD compared to patients with a later onset and controls.

Patients And Methods: Patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and controls from the COPPADIS cohort were included.

Introduction: Drooling in Parkinson's disease (PD) is frequent but often goes underrecognized. Our aim was to examine the prevalence of drooling in a PD cohort and compare it with a control group. Specifically, we identified factors associated with drooling and conducted subanalyses in a subgroup of very early PD patients.

Background: Recently, a novel simple classification called MNCD, based on 4 axes (Motor; Non-motor; Cognition; Dependency) and 5 stages, has been proposed to classify Parkinson's disease (PD).

Objective: Our aim was to apply the MNCD classification in a cohort of PD patients for the first time and also to analyze the correlation with quality of life (QoL) and disease severity.

Methods: Data from the baseline visit of PD patients recruited from 35 centers in Spain from the COPPADIS cohort fromJanuary 2016 to November 2017 were used to apply the MNCD classification.

Introduction: COVID19 associated headaches are highly common and there is currently an unmet need to better understand their association with SARSCoV2 variants. Headaches are a prevalent symptom in the acute phase of COVID19 and are associated with a better prognosis and better immune response. They are also a relevant post-COVID symptom.

Background And Objective: Sex plays a role in Parkinson's disease (PD) mechanisms. We analyzed sex difference manifestations among Spanish patients with PD.

Patients And Methods: PD patients who were recruited from the Spanish cohort COPPADIS from January 2016 to November 2017 were included.

Article Synopsis
  • The incidence of hospitalizations for Parkinson's disease (PD) in Spain increased from 81.25 cases in 2010-2011 to 94.82 cases in 2018-2019 per 100,000 inhabitants, with a noted rise in male patients and comorbidities.
  • PD as a comorbidity had a greater annual percentage change (+1.71%) compared to PD as the primary diagnosis (+1.26%).
  • Despite the increase in hospitalizations and related factors, the adjusted mortality rate for PD patients remained stable over the observed period.

Background And Purpose: Visual hallucinations (VH) and subjective cognitive complaints (SCC) are associated with cognitive impairment (CI) in Parkinson's disease. Our aims were to determine the association between VH and SCC and the risk of CI development in a cohort of patients with Parkinson's disease and normal cognition (PD-NC).

Methods: Patients with PD-NC (total score of >80 on the Parkinson's Disease Cognitive Rating Scale [PD-CRS]) recruited from the Spanish COPPADIS cohort from January 2016 to November 2017 were followed up after 2 years.

Article Synopsis
  • Functional Neurological Disorders (FND) can often occur alongside other neurological conditions, such as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), and may be the first signs of these underlying diseases.
  • In a study of three patients, positive signs of functional movement disorders were observed before they were diagnosed with CJD, showing symptoms like unilateral tremors and limb weakness.
  • The progression of their conditions was rapid, leading to significant deterioration and death within 2-3 months, emphasizing the importance of recognizing FND for proper diagnosis and management in neurology.

Objective: This study looked at differences in the presence of headache as an onset symptom of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and as a post-COVID-19 symptom in individuals previously hospitalized owing to infection with the Wuhan, Alpha, or Delta variants of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).

Background: Headache can be present in up to 50% of individuals during the acute phase of SARS-CoV-2 infection and in 10% of subjects during the post-COVID-19 phase. There are no data on differences in the occurrence of headache in the acute- and post-COVID-19 phase according to the SARS-CoV-2 variants.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examined musculoskeletal pain in COVID-19 survivors who were hospitalized and infected with different variants (historical, Alpha, and Delta) six months post-discharge.
  • It found that 47.7% of patients infected with the historical variant experienced musculoskeletal pain, which was higher than the 38.3% and 41% in Alpha and Delta variant patients, respectively.
  • Overall, about 50% of participants developed new musculoskeletal pain symptoms after their COVID-19 infection, indicating a significant impact on their recovery experience.

This study compared associated-symptoms at the acute phase of infection and post-COVID-19 symptoms between individuals hospitalized with the Wuhan, Alpha or Delta SARS-CoV-2 variant. Non-vaccinated individuals hospitalized because of SARS-CoV-2 infection in one hospital during three different waves of the pandemic (Wuhan, Alpha or Delta) were scheduled for a telephone interview. The presence of post-COVID-19 symptoms was systematically assessed.
