Description

Patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) are known to suffer from motor symptoms of the disease, but they also experience non-motor symptoms (NMS) that are often present before diagnosis or that inevitably emerge with disease progression. The NMS of PD have a significant impact on patient quality of life and mortality and include neuropsychiatric, sleep-related, autonomic, gastrointestinal, and sensory symptoms. Edited by members of the UK Parkinson's DiseaseNon-Motor Group (PD-NMG) and with contributions from international experts, this book is the most comprehensive text to date on NMS of PD.
