Advanced Parkinson's disease: Clinical characteristics and treatment (part 1)
A large percentage of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) develop motor fluctuations, dyskinesias, and severe non-motor symptoms (NMS) within 3 to 5 years of starting dopaminergic therapy, and these motor complications are refractory to treatment. Several authors refer to this stage of the d...

Summary: | A large percentage of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) develop motor fluctuations, dyskinesias, and severe non-motor symptoms (NMS) within 3 to 5 years of starting dopaminergic therapy, and these motor complications are refractory to treatment. Several authors refer to this stage of the disease as advanced PD.
To define the clinical manifestations of advanced PD and the risk factors for reaching this stage of the disease.
This consensus document has been prepared by using an exhaustive literature search and by discussion of the contents by an expert group on movement disorders of the Sociedad Española de Neurología (Spanish Neurology Society), coordinated by two of the authors (JK and MRL).
Severe motor fluctuations and dyskinesias, axial motor symptoms resistant to levodopa, and cognitive decline are the main signs in the clinical phenotype of advanced PD.
Un porcentaje importante de pacientes con enfermedad de Parkinson (EP) desarrollan complicaciones motoras en forma de fluctuaciones motoras, discinesias y síntomas no motores al cabo de 3–5 años del inicio del tratamiento que resultan de difícil control terapéutico. Esta fase de la enfermedad ha sido definida por algunos autores como fase avanzada de la EP.
Definir las características clínicas y los factores de riesgo que condicionan que una EP evolucione a un estadio avanzado.
Este documento de consenso se ha realizado mediante una búsqueda bibliográfica exhaustiva y discusión de los contenidos llevadas a cabo por un grupo de expertos en trastornos del movimiento de la Sociedad Espãnola de Neurología coordinados por dos de los autores (JK y MRL).
La presencia de fluctuaciones motoras y discinesias graves, síntomas motores axiales resistentes a la levodopa y síntomas no motores, como los trastornos cognitivos, representan las principales manifestaciones fenotípicas de una EP avanzada. |
