Impulse Control Disorders in Parkinson's Disease. A Brief and Comprehensive Review
Conclusions
The treatment used for PD, particularly DA, is associated with the development of ICDs and related behaviors. Susceptibility to these disorders depends on the associated risk factors.
ICDs can have serious personal, family, psychosocial, financial, and medical consequences. However, in contrast, artistic activities have been described in patients with PD while undergoing treatment with DA. These patients are compulsive but report a positive influence on quality of life.
These findings highlight the need for a very critical approach at the moment of Dopaminergic Replacement therapy choice.
