Dyskinesia and impulsive compulsive behaviour in Parkinson's disease are not related: Insights from a study with a wearable sensor.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Previous studies have suggested an association between Impulsive Compulsive Behaviour (ICB) and dyskinesia in Parkinson's disease (PD). However, none of these studies have employed an objective home-based measure of dyskinesia.

Objectives

To evaluate in advanced PD the relationship between ICB and dyskinesia, objectively measured with a wearable device.

Methods

In this cross-sectional study, ICB and other neuropsychiatric symptoms were assessed by means of structured clinical interview and specific screening instruments. Presence and severity of motor fluctuations and dyskinesia were rated with patient's and clinician's based rating instruments. Motor fluctuations and dyskinesia were also measured at home for 5-days using a validated wearable devise, the
