Quality of life and pain in Parkinson's disease: a controlled cross-sectional study
(2004) In Parkinsonism & Related Disorders 10(3). p.129-136- Abstract
- Purpose. To compare health-related quality of life (HRQL) and-pain symptoms in patients with PD with a matched control group. To our knowledge, controlled studies of Parkinson's disease (PD) patients within this area are rare. Scope. Fifty-seven patients and 95 controls took part in a self-administered questionnaire study. The instruments were the SF-36, visual analogue scales, pain drawing and pain-specific questions. Conclusions. Pain problems are common in PD patients but also to a large extent in the normal population. HRQL was reduced (p less than or equal to 0.001) for the PD patients on all the scales on the SF-36 and consequently also in the pain dimension. The study indicates that even PD patients, who are optimally diagnosed and... (More)

The study indicates that even PD patients, who are optimally diagnosed and treated by a neurologist, might require additional rehabilitation treatment to improve their HRQL and pain problems.
