EPIDEMIOLOGY
~1% of people over 55 years Age range 3585 years peak age of onset is in the early 60s ~5% of cases characterized by an earlier
age of onset (typically before age 45
years)

PATHOGENESIS
Microscopic presence of Lewy bodies in the remaining neurons
Genetic :earlier age onset

Bradykinesia
most characteristic clinical feature manifestations of bradykinesia
slowness of movementloss of spontaneous movements and gesturingdroolingmonotonic and hypophonicdysarthrialoss of facial expressionFreezing(motor blocks) is a form of akinesia

Bradykinesia
correlate best with degree of dopaminedeficiency
Assessment of bradykinesiarapid, repetitive, alternating movements of the
hand
observing not only slowness but alsodecrementing amplitude

Tremor
Rest tremor is the most common unilateral, frequency between 4 and 6 Hz Hand tremors are described as
supinationpronation (pill-rolling)
involve :lips, chin, jaw and legs rarely involve: the neck/head responsive to dopaminergic therapy

Diagnostic criteriaUK Parkinsons Disease Society Brain Banks clinical criteria for the diagnosis of
probable Parkinsons diseaseStep 1Bradykinesia
At least one of the following criteria:
Rigidity
46 Hz rest tremor
Postural instability not caused by primary visual, vestibular, cerebellar orproprioceptive dysfunction
Step 2
Exclude other causes of parkinsonism
Step 3
At least three of the following supportive (prospective) criteria:
Unilateral onset
Rest tremorProgressive disorderPersistent asymmetry primarily affecting side of onsetExcellent response (70100%) to levodopa
Severe levodopa induced chorea (dyskinesia)Levodopa response for 5 years or moreClinical course of 10 years or more

National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke
(NINDS) diagnostic criteria for Parkinsons diseaseGroup A features (characteristic of PD)Resting tremor
Bradykinesia
RigidityAsymmetric onset
Group B features (suggestive of alternative diagnoses)
Features unusual early in the clinical courseProminent postural instability in the first 3 years after symptom onsetFreezing phenomenon in the first 3 yearsHallucinations unrelated to medications in the first 3 years
Dementia preceding motor symptoms or in the first year
Supranuclear gaze palsy (other than restriction of upward gaze) or slowing of verticalsaccades
Severe, symptomatic dysautonomia unrelated to medicationsDocumentation of condition known to produce parkinsonism and plausibly connected to
the patients symptoms (such as suitably located focal brain lesions or neurolepticuse within the past 6 months)
8/4/2019 Parkinson s Disease Sirirak
15/33
National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke(NINDS) diagnostic criteria for Parkinsons disease
Criteria for definite PDAll criteria for probable Parkinsons are met and
Histopathological confirmation of the diagnosis is obtained at autopsy
Criteria for probable PDAt least three of the four features in group A are present and
None of the features in group B is present (note: symptom duration 3 years is
necessary to meet this requirement) andSubstantial and sustained response to levodopa or a dopamine agonist has beendocumented
Criteria for possible PDAt least two of the four features in group A are present; at least one of these is tremor
or bradykinesia and
Either none of the features in group B is present or symptoms have been present 3years and none of the features in group B is present
and
Either substantial and sustained response to levodopa or a dopamine agonist has beendocumented or the patient has not had an adequate trial of levodopa or a dopamineagonist

Disease staging and assessment
Hoehn and Yahr Staging UPDRS0 No signs of disease. There are 6 major parts;
1.Mentation, behavior andmood
2.Activities of daily living
3.Motor examination4.Complication of therapy5.Modified Hoehn and Yahrstaging
6.Schwab and Englandactivites of daily living scale
1 Unilateral disease.
2Bilateral disease, without impairment
of balance.
3
Mild to moderate bilateral disease;
some postural instability; physically
independent.
4Severe disability; still able to walk or
stand unassisted.
5Wheelchair bound or bedridden
unless aided.

Dopamine agonists
e.g.Bromocriptine
Caution: Fibrosise.g. heart valve,lung (dose andtime of exposurerelated)
Fibrosis:stimulation of 5-HT2B that maypotentiateinflammation
Ergot e.g.pramiprexol, ropinirole
Caution: Sleepattack was firstreported in pttreated withropinirole andpramiprexol
Non-ergot
Benefit when use in early disease
(delays the use of levodopa)
Use in management of motor complications
e.g. dyskinesia esp. long acting
Start low, go slow(better tolerate with evening dose)
