Pain characteristics and their relationship with motor dysfunction in individuals with Parkinson disease—A cross-sectional study

Pain Practice Sep 12, 2019

de Mattos DC, et al. - Researchers examined 54 individuals with Parkinson disease (PD) to determine how pain is related to motor dysfunction among them. Mild to moderate pain was reported in 38 of 54 participants. The predominant type of pain was musculoskeletal pain (in 81.5% of individuals), followed by nocturnal pain (52.6%) and fluctuation-related pain (47.3%). Lower limbs (33.0%) and shoulders/cervical area (31.0%) were the most painful areas. The analysis revealed a weak correlation of pain with performance in general activities and with bradykinesia, but no correlation of pain with the remaining classic motor PD symptoms—either gait or balance performance. Overall, in the present sample, pain was a prevalent symptom, and it interfered with functionality.
