People with Parkinson's disease with motor fluctuations can be treated by continuous subcutaneous apomorphine infusion (CSAI) to reduce their symptoms. Nonetheless, factors are lacking to predict patients' quality-of-life amelioration after CSAI. This pilot study aimed to evaluate associations between personality dimensions and quality-of-life improvement after 6 months of CSAI.

Amantadine use in the French prospective NS-Park cohort.

J Neural Transm (Vienna)

July 2024

Department of Clinical Pharmacology and Neurosciences, Clinical Investigation Center CIC1436, Toulouse Parkinson Expert Centre, Toulouse NeuroToul Center of Excellence in Neurodegeneration (COEN), University of Toulouse 3, CHU of Toulouse, INSERM, Toulouse, France.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to evaluate the use of amantadine in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and its effectiveness in treating levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LIDs).
  • It found that 12.6% of PD patients in the French NS-Park cohort were using amantadine, primarily younger patients with more severe symptoms and higher doses of levodopa.
  • The results indicated that starting amantadine led to significant improvements in LIDs and motor fluctuations among new users compared to those who had never used the drug.

Personality assessment with Temperament and Character Inventory in Parkinson's disease.

Parkinsonism Relat Disord

October 2022

Toulouse NeuroImaging Center, University of Toulouse, Inserm, UPS, France; Department of Clinical Pharmacology and Neurosciences, Parkinson Expert Center, Clinical Investigation Center CIC1436, University Hospital of Toulouse, NeuroToul COEN (Center of Excellence in Neurodegeneration), Toulouse, NS-PARK/FCRIN Network, France.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study focuses on evaluating personality traits in fluctuating Parkinson's disease (PD) patients using the Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI), as prior observations suggested specific temperaments in this group of patients.
  • - Results showed that the PD patients had higher scores in traits like Harm Avoidance and Self-Directedness but lower in Self-Transcendence compared to a normative French cohort, with certain traits correlating with anxiety, depression, and quality of life.
  • - The findings suggest that TCI is a reliable tool for assessing personality dimensions in PD patients, highlighting unique personality profiles and significant associations between personality traits and other clinical variables.

Background: Deep brain stimulation of the sub-thalamic nucleus (DBS-STN) reduces symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients with motor fluctuations. However, some patients may not feel ameliorated afterwards, despite an objective motor improvement. It is thus important to find new predictors of patients' quality of life (QoL) amelioration after DBS-STN.

Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a rare neurodegenerative disorder with substantial knowledge gaps despite recent gains in basic and clinical research. In order to make further advances, concerted international collaboration is vital. In 2014, an international meeting involving leaders in the field and MSA advocacy groups was convened in Las Vegas, Nevada, to identify critical research areas where consensus and progress was needed to improve understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of the disease.

Background: The Attenuation of Disease progression with Azilect GIven Once-daily (ADAGIO) delayed-start study demonstrated a benefit of early-start treatment with rasagiline 1 mg/day versus delayed-start treatment in PD. This follow-up study aimed to assess whether these benefits persist and the clinical progression rate during long-term naturalistic treatment.

Methods: The ADAGIO Follow-Up study was initiated approximately 26 months after completion of the ADAGIO study.
