Investigation of the Treatment and Living Assistance Needed by Patients with Young-Onset Parkinson's Disease.

CONCLUSIONS: Increased awareness of YOPD is needed. YOPD patients have motor fluctuation because of the longer disease duration. Thus, the support of doctors and nurses, and frequent examination visits, are indispensable for controlling symptoms to achieve middle age developmental tasks. Increased support for care-giving, leisure-time activities, and work is also necessary and may help maintain the desire to work in this group. PMID: 30988265 [PubMed - in process]
