Non-Motor Symptoms in Thai Patients with Parkinson's Disease Studied at Phramongkutklao Hospital

Mean total NMSQ-T score was 9.5. Most prevalent of non-motor symptom was nocturia (64.2%). The domains which gained most positive answers were urinary domain (54.55%). Inter-domain correlations were significantly found in all, except the sexual domain. Multivariate analysis revealed the duration of PD and stages were significantly correlated with the total score of NMS. Only three percent denied having any non-motor symptoms. Conclusion: Almost all Thai PD had NMS. Urinary domain is the most prevalent in our series. Screening using NMSQ-T to recognize NMS would be a helpful tool to improve the quality of life in Thai Parkinson’s disease.
