INCIDENCE OF NON-MOTOR SYMPTOMS IN PATIENTS DIAGNOSED WITH PARKINSON'S

Abstract

The objective of this research is to understand which non-motor symptoms are most related to Parkinson's, based on the observation and epidemiological analysis of medical records from the Intermunicipal Health Consortium of Western Paraná (CISOP), at the Neurology outpatient clinic in the city of Cascavel. Among the main non-motor symptoms, it is possible to highlight sleep disorders, autonomic dysfunctions and neuropsychiatric symptoms. Understanding which symptoms are most related to Parkinson's is one of the pillars of outpatient consultation screening to ensure better living conditions for the patient.
