Creation

[edit]

I have moved all this material from the PD main page and summarized content in it. I will add some images, templates and categories as soon as I can.--Garrondo (talk) 12:15, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge

[edit]

Shortly after creating Signs and symptoms of Parkinson's disease I found Non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Both of them have a lot of overlap in content with the former having additional content to the latter since it has a broader coverage. I believe the article "non motor symptoms" should be merged into the more general "signs and symptoms". Additionally the signs and symptoms subsection of the Parkinson's disease article is now a summary of the signs and symptoms article. Anybody opposing?

[edit]

I copy here comments made by a new user.--Garrondo (talk) 11:19, 20 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

NEUROPSYCHIATRIC

- an additional sentence should be added after 'Treatment options consist of modifying the dosage of dopaminergic drugs taken each day, adding an antipsychotic drug like quetiapine, or offering carers a psychosocial intervention to help them cope with the hallucinations' and along the lines of 'With regards to antipsychotic medications, the best evidence to date is with clozapine though the risk of side-effects and adverse events necessitate monitoring, thus limiting its practical use. Though quetiapine is widely prescribed, there is little evidence in terms of sustained benefit in the setting of psychosis in Parkinson's.'

PERCEPTION

- impaired proprioception is not accurate. Proprioception is a definition for 'joint position sense' and I am unaware of any work that specifically examines proprioception. This sentence (entry) should be replaced with 'visuospatial dysfunction'
