Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease, affecting 1% of the population over 55 years of age.
Disease is characterized by the loss of ~50–70% of the dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra, a profound loss of dopamine (DA) in the striatum, and the presence of intracytoplasmic inclusions called Lewy bodies (LB).

Because people with PD may develop impaired cognitive ability, a communication deficit and/or depression, they should be provided with both oral and written communication throughout the course of the disease. NICE Level D (GPP) [2006]
Offer people with Parkinson's disease an accessible point of contact with specialist services. This could be provided by a Parkinson's disease nurse specialist. [2006]
![Page 11: parkinsons disease recent updates](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a652d877f8b9a5b558b4e31/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Suspect Parkinson's disease in people presenting with tremor, stiffness, slowness, balance problems and/or gait disorders. [NICE 2006]
If Parkinson's disease is suspected, refer people quickly and untreated to a specialist with expertise in the differential diagnosis of this condition. [NICE 2006, amended 2017]
Diagnose Parkinson's disease clinically, based on the UK Parkinson's Disease Society Brain Bank Clinical Diagnostic Criteria. [NICE 2006]
![Page 12: parkinsons disease recent updates](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a652d877f8b9a5b558b4e31/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Determining the presence of the following clinical features in early stages of disease should be considered to distinguish PD from other parkinsoniansyndromes:
1) falls at presentation and early in the disease course;
2) poor response to levodopa;
3) symmetry atonset;
4) rapid progression
5) lack of tremor; and
6) early dysautonomia AAN Level B D (GPP)
![Page 13: parkinsons disease recent updates](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a652d877f8b9a5b558b4e31/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
People diagnosed with Parkinson's disease should be seen at regular intervals of 6–12 months to review their diagnosis and reconsidered if atypical clinical features develop.[NICE 2006]
In patients with newly diagnosed PD, older age at onset and rigidity/hypokinesia as an initial symptom should be used to predict more rapid rate of motor progression. AAN Level B
The presence of associated comorbidities (stroke, auditory deficits, and visual impairments), Postural Instability/Gait difficulty (PIGD), and male sex may be used to predict faster rate of motor progression. AAN Level C
![Page 14: parkinsons disease recent updates](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a652d877f8b9a5b558b4e31/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Consider SPECT for people with tremor if essential tremor cannot be clinically differentiated from parkinsonism. [NICE 2006, amended 2017]
Do not use positron emission tomography (PET) in the differential diagnosis of parkinsonian syndromes, except in the context of clinical trials. [NICE 2006, amended 2017]
![Page 15: parkinsons disease recent updates](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a652d877f8b9a5b558b4e31/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Do not use structural MRI to diagnose Parkinson's disease. It may be considered in the differential diagnosis of other parkinsonian syndromes. [NICE 2006, amended 2017]
Do not use acute levodopa and apomorphine challenge tests and objective smell testing in the differential diagnosis of parkinsonian syndromes. [NICE 2006, amended 2017]
![Page 16: parkinsons disease recent updates](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a652d877f8b9a5b558b4e31/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
initiation of pharmacologic therapy – goal :
▪ reducing motor symptoms
▪ improving quality of life without causing side effects.
Factors that influence this decision include:
▪ symptom severity,
▪ whether the symptoms affect the dominant hand,
▪ ability to continue working and/or participate in activities such as hobbies,
▪ cost,
▪ patient preference.
![Page 17: parkinsons disease recent updates](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a652d877f8b9a5b558b4e31/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Levodopa remains the most effective medication for the treatment of motor symptoms.
Levodopa used as a symptomatic treatment for people with early PD. NICE Level A
The dose of levodopa should be kept as low as possible to maintain good function in order to reduce the development of motor complications. NICE Level A
Modified-release levodopa preparations should not be used to delay the onset of motor complications in people with early PD. NICE Level A
![Page 18: parkinsons disease recent updates](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a652d877f8b9a5b558b4e31/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Dopamine agonists are the second most potent class of medication (after levodopa) for control of motor symptoms in PD with good evidence that they can be used in early PD with success.
Dopamine agonists have less likelihood of producing fluctuations in early disease, but are less effective and associated with high side effects and more expensive than levodopa.

![Page 19: parkinsons disease recent updates](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a652d877f8b9a5b558b4e31/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Dopamine agonists may be used as a symptomatic treatment for people with early PD. NICE Level A
A dopamine agonist should be titrated to a clinically efficacious dose. If side effectsprevent this, another agonist or a drug from another class should be used in itsplace. NICE Level D (GPP)
![Page 20: parkinsons disease recent updates](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a652d877f8b9a5b558b4e31/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
MAO-B inhibitors may be used as a symptomatic treatment for people with early PD. NICE Level A 2006
Amantadine may be used as a treatment for people with early PD but should not be a drug of first choice. NICE Level D (GPP) 2006
![Page 21: parkinsons disease recent updates](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a652d877f8b9a5b558b4e31/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Anticholinergics may be used as a symptomatic treatment typically in young people with early PD and severe tremor, but should not be drugs of first choice due to limited efficacy and the propensity to cause neuropsychiatric side effects. NICE Level B 2006
Beta-adrenergic antagonists may be used in the symptomatic treatment of selected people with postural tremor in PD, but should not be drugs of first choice.
NICE Level D (GPP) 2006
![Page 22: parkinsons disease recent updates](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a652d877f8b9a5b558b4e31/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Up to 50% of patients on LD for 5 years - motor fluctuations and dyskinesia.
common if onset before 50 years of age.
unique to LD, and are not produced by the other anti-Parkinson drugs.
Wearing off is the most common type of MF. It refers to the predictable return of parkinsonian symptoms in the hours before the next dose as the plasma level of the drug falls below the critical level.
22
![Page 23: parkinsons disease recent updates](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a652d877f8b9a5b558b4e31/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
On/off is the unpredictable reappearance of parkinsonian symptoms at a time when central levels of anti-parkinsonian drugs are expected to be within the target of therapeutic range.
Delayed on is delay in the onset of symptom relief after a dose.
Dose failure is a complete failure to develop a favorable response to an incremental dopaminergic dose.
Protein-related offs occur when the transport of LD across the intestinal wall is impeded by competition for facilitated transport by large amounts of neutral amino acids.
![Page 24: parkinsons disease recent updates](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a652d877f8b9a5b558b4e31/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Manipulation of the dose or frequency of levodopa can be a first strategy but eventually the emergence of dyskinesias will preclude this.
For patients with PD with motor fluctuations the available evidence suggests: Entacapone and rasagiline should be offered to reduce off time. AAN Level A
Pramipexole and ropinirole should be considered to reduce off time.AAN Level B
![Page 25: parkinsons disease recent updates](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a652d877f8b9a5b558b4e31/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Entacapone, a COMT inhibitor and rasagiline, a MAO-B inhibitor, have both been shown in clinical trials to reduce off time by approximately 1.5 waking hours perday
Dopamine agonists such as pramipexole, ropinirole and bromocriptine have beenshown in clinical trials to reduce off time by approximately 15%.
![Page 26: parkinsons disease recent updates](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a652d877f8b9a5b558b4e31/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Modified-release levodopa preparations may be used to reduce motor fluctuations in people with later PD but should not be drugs of first choice. NICE Level B
Modified release levodopa remains most useful in addressing overnight wearing off.
![Page 27: parkinsons disease recent updates](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a652d877f8b9a5b558b4e31/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Antiparkinsonian medicines should not be withdrawn abruptly or allowed to fail suddenly due to poor absorption to avoid the potential for acute akinesia. [NICE 2006]
The practice of withdrawing people from their antiparkinsonian drugs (so called 'drug holidays') to reduce motor complications should not be undertaken because of the risk of neuroleptic malignant syndrome. [NICE 2006]
![Page 28: parkinsons disease recent updates](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a652d877f8b9a5b558b4e31/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
If symptoms are very mild, the patient may be choosen not to begin therapy.
Offer levodopa to people in the early stages of Parkinson's disease whose motor symptoms impact on their quality of life. [NICE 2017]
Consider a choice of dopamine agonists, levodopa or monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) inhibitors for people in the early stages of Parkinson's disease whose motor symptoms do not impact on their quality of life. . [NICE 2017]
![Page 29: parkinsons disease recent updates](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a652d877f8b9a5b558b4e31/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Offer a choice of dopamine agonists, MAO-B inhibitors or COMT inhibitors as an adjunct to levodopa for people with Parkinson's disease who have developed dyskinesia or motor fluctuations despite optimal levodopa therapy [NICE 2017]
If dyskinesia is not adequately managed by modifying existing therapy, consider amantadine [NICE 2017] AAN Level C
Do not offer anticholinergics to people with Parkinson's disease who have developed dyskinesia and/or motor fluctuations [NICE 2017]
![Page 30: parkinsons disease recent updates](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a652d877f8b9a5b558b4e31/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Do not offer ergot-derived dopamine agonists as first-line treatment for Parkinson's disease . [NICE 2017]
Only consider an ergot-derived dopamine agonist as an adjunct to levodopa for :
who have developed dyskinesia or motor fluctuations despite optimal levodopatherapy
whose symptoms are not adequately controlled with a non-ergot-derived dopamine agonist.

The different types of impulse control disorders –
▪ compulsive gambling,
▪ hypersexuality,
▪ binge eating
▪ obsessive shopping
Recognise that impulse control disorders can develop in a person with Parkinson's disease who is on any dopaminergic therapy at any stage in the disease course. [NICE 2017]
![Page 33: parkinsons disease recent updates](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a652d877f8b9a5b558b4e31/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Impulse control disorders can also develop while taking dopaminergic therapies other than dopamine agonists. [NICE 2017]
Recognise that the following are associated with an increased risk of developing impulse control disorders:
Dopamine agonist therapy.
A history of previous impulsive behaviours.
A history of alcohol consumption and/or smoking. [NICE 2017]

Consider modafinil if a detailed sleep history has excluded reversible pharmacological and physical causes. [NICE 2017] Level D(GPP), (AAN 2010)
Care should be taken to identify and manage RLS and RBD in people with PD and sleep disturbance. NICE Level D (GPP)
Consider clonazepam or melatonin to treat RBD if a medicines review has addressed possible pharmacological causes [NICE 2017]
Methylphenidate may be considered for fatigue (AAN 2010)
![Page 36: parkinsons disease recent updates](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a652d877f8b9a5b558b4e31/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Consider levodopa or oral dopamine agonists to treat nocturnal akinesia in people with Parkinson's disease. [NICE 2017]
Consider rotigotine if levodopa and/or oral dopamine agonists are not effective in treating nocturnal akinesia. [NICE 2017]
![Page 37: parkinsons disease recent updates](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a652d877f8b9a5b558b4e31/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

Review the person's existing medicines to address possible pharmacological causes:
▪ antihypertensives (including diuretics)
▪ Dopaminergics
▪ Anticholinergics
▪ Antidepressants [NICE 2017]
Consider midodrine for people with Parkinson's disease and orthostatic Hypotension[NICE 2017]
If midodrine is contraindicated, not tolerated or not effective, consider fludrocortisone [NICE 2017]
![Page 39: parkinsons disease recent updates](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a652d877f8b9a5b558b4e31/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Consider emotional fluctuations associated with “OFF” periods → Reduce “OFF”time
When depression is accompanied by symptoms of anxiety, the first priority should usually be to treat the depression. [NICE 2017]
For patients with persistent subthreshold depressive symptoms or mild to moderate depression, consider CBT
![Page 40: parkinsons disease recent updates](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a652d877f8b9a5b558b4e31/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
TCAs, SSRIs (Amitriptyline may be considered.) AAN Level C
Especially if motor control is suboptimal, consider dopamine agonists such as Ropinirole or Pramipexole, may have antidepressant effect
ECT in severe refractorycases
![Page 41: parkinsons disease recent updates](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a652d877f8b9a5b558b4e31/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Do not treat hallucinations and delusions if they are well tolerated by the person with Parkinson's disease and their family members [NICE 2017]
Consider quetiapine to treat hallucinations and delusions in people with Parkinson's disease who have no cognitive impairment, if not effective, offer clozapine
[NICE 2017]
Be aware that lower doses of quetiapine and clozapine are needed for people with Parkinson's disease than in other indications
Do not offer olanzapine to treat hallucinations and delusions, other antipsychotic medicines (such as phenothiazines and butyrophenones) can worsen the motor features[NICE 2017]
![Page 42: parkinsons disease recent updates](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a652d877f8b9a5b558b4e31/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Look for triggers
Taper or discontinue sedative medications
Taper antiparkinson drugs in roughly the following order
i. Anticholinergics
ii. Amantadine
iii. Dopamine agonists
iv. MAO-B inhibitors
v. Levodopa
![Page 43: parkinsons disease recent updates](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a652d877f8b9a5b558b4e31/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Donepezil should be considered for the treatment of dementia in PD. AAN Level B
Consider memantine for people with Parkinson's disease dementia, only if cholinesterase inhibitors are not tolerated or are contraindicated. [NICE 2017]
![Page 44: parkinsons disease recent updates](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a652d877f8b9a5b558b4e31/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Eating chewing gum or a hard candy often decreases drooling by triggering increased spontaneous swallowing movements.
Only consider pharmacological management for drooling of saliva in people with Parkinson's disease if non-pharmacological management is ineffective.
Consider glycopyrronium bromide or topical atropine, if not effective consider botulinum toxin A [NICE 2017]
![Page 45: parkinsons disease recent updates](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a652d877f8b9a5b558b4e31/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Vitamin E should not be used as a neuroprotective therapy for people with PD. [NICE Level A 2006 amended 2017]
Co-enzyme Q10, dopamine agonists, monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) inhibitors should not be used as a neuroprotective therapy for people with PD, except in the context of clinical trials. [NICE Level B 2006 amended 2017]

Consider the Alexander Technique for people with Parkinson's disease who are experiencing balance or motor function problems [NICE 2017]
no evidence that one type of physiotherapy was superior to others
![Page 47: parkinsons disease recent updates](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a652d877f8b9a5b558b4e31/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Considered in advanced patients when the optimized medical treatment has failed in treating motor symptoms (such as motor fluctuations and/or dyskinesia).
DBS is currently the surgical treatment of choice in advanced PD patients
The most used current targets for PD are:
▪ thalamus (Vim nucleus)
▪ the subthalamic nucleus (STN)
▪ globus pallidus internus (GPi).
![Page 48: parkinsons disease recent updates](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a652d877f8b9a5b558b4e31/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
may be considered as an option in people with PD who predominantly have severe disabling tremor and where STN stimulation cannot be performed. NICE Level D 2006
Eliminate contralateral rest tremors in 75% to 85% of patients , but there is less effect on rigidity and no effect on bradykinesia.
![Page 49: parkinsons disease recent updates](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052606/5a652d877f8b9a5b558b4e31/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
May be considered to improve motor function and to reduce motor fluctuations, dyskinesia, and medication usage.
Patients need to be counselled regarding the risks and benefits of this procedure. AAN Level C
The overall improvement of ADLs and motor UPDRS scores in the off medication/on stimulation condition has been reported to be on average 50% when compared to the off medications condition before surgery.
Levodopa-induced dyskinesia has also been reduced by 69% on average aftersurgery.

may be used in people who:
have motor complications that are refractory to best medical treatment
Are biologically fit with no clinically significant active comorbidity
Are levodopa responsive
Have no clinically significant active mental health problems, for example
depression or dementia. NICE Level D 2006

GPi DBS may be particularly useful for patients who may have troublesome
dyskinesia as well as mild cognitive or behavioral impairment, whereas bilateral
STN DBS may be a choice for patients who are cognitively intact but in whom
reduction in levodopa dosage is primary goal.

Offer people with advanced Parkinson's disease best medical therapy, which may include intermittent apomorphine injection and/or continuous subcutaneous apomorphine infusion. [NICE 2017]
Apomorphine (subcutaneous infusion or injections)-Apomorphine is the most potent dopamine receptor agonist and it can provide symptom relief similar to that of L-dopa. Apomorphine is rapidly absorbed, with onset of effect within 5-15 minutes of subcutaneous injection.

Levodopa–carbidopa intestinal gel is currently available through an NHS England clinical commissioning policy. It is recommended that this policy is reviewed in light of this guidance. [NICE 2017]
Adv - faster absorp-tion, and maintenance of more constant levels of levodopa.
L-Dopa emulsion can be applied by an external pump via a percutaneous tubing into the jejunal cavity in order to provide a nearly constant continuous supply of L-Dopato the blood and thus to the CNS.
