Striatal Dopamine Depletion Patterns and Early Non-Motor Burden in Parkinsons Disease

BACKGROUND The mechanism underlying non-motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease has not yet been elucidated. In this study, we hypothesized that Parkinson patients with more non-motor symptoms have a different pattern of striatal dopamine depletion, particularly in areas other than the sensorimotor striatum, compared to those with fewer non-motor symptoms. METHODS We conducted a prospective sur...

Little is known as to whether this is also the case for the most common and costly chronic pain-back pain. OBJECTIVES To investigate the effects of back pain characteristics on the performance of left/right...
