Worsened Parkinson's Disease Progression: Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic.
2021
Whilst some studies investigated the impact of viral infection or reduced access to medication during the COVID-19 pandemic in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), data on the effects of pandemic restrictions are still scarce. We retrospectively analyzed motor symptoms of longitudinally followed PD patients (nâ=â264) and compared motor disease progression before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, we performed a trend analysis of the yearly evolution of motor symptoms in 755 patients from 2016 until 2021. We observed a worsening of motor symptoms and a significantly increased motor disease progression during pandemic-related restrictions as compared to before the COVID-19 outbreak.
