Non-lesional treatment options for tremor in idiopathic Parkinson syndrome: a protocol for a systematic literature review.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Idiopathic Parkinson syndrome (iPS) is one of the most common neurodegenerative disorders characterised by the triad of bradykinesia, rigidity and tremor. Tremor at rest predominantly at one side is often perceived by patients as severely disabling and yet ranges among the most difficult symptoms to treat. In medically refractory cases, lesional approaches have proven to be effective alternatives. However, to date, there is no comprehensive analysis of non-surgical therapies to manage iPS-patients' tremor. We therefore present a detailed study protocol for a systematic literature review assessing efficacy/effectiveness and safety of non-lesional treatments for tremor in iPS.

Methods and analysis

We will search three electronic databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE and Psyc
