Symptom burden among individuals with Parkinson disease: A national survey

Conclusions In this national survey of individuals with PD, we identified poor QOL, frequent critical events, and numerous uncontrolled symptoms among a substantial proportion of respondents. Although motor symptoms were common, only nonmotor symptoms were associated with poor QOL. Many of these symptoms and events are treatable or preventable, highlighting the need for better identification and management to improve QOL among those with PD.
