Autonomic nervous system testing may not distinguish multiple system atrophy from Parkinson's disease.
BACKGROUND Formal laboratory testing of autonomic function is reported to distinguish between patients with Parkinson's disease and those with multiple system atrophy (MSA), but such studies segregate patients according to clinical criteria that select those with autonomic dysfunction for the MSA category. OBJECTIVE To characterise the profiles of autonomic disturbances in patients in whom th...
متن کاملEvaluation of a Selected Balance Training on Physiological, Motor and Balance Performance in Patients with Parkinson's disease
Background and purpose: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder of the central nervous system which leads to slowness of movement, tremor, postural instability, reduced balance, and autonomic nervous system disorders. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of selected balance training on physiological, motor and balance performance in patients with PD. Material...
متن کامل[Cognitive function and blood pressure regulation in Lewy body diseases].
It is well known that autonomic failure is severer in patients with dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) compared with patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). According to the Braak's hypothesis, Lewy bodies first appear in the olfactory bulb or peripheral autonomic nervous system. Lewy bodies in the peripheral autonomic nervous system ascend to dorsal motor nuclei of vagus nerve, while those in the...
متن کاملFunctional and neurochemical changes of the gastrointestinal tract in a rodent model of Parkinson's disease.
Patients with Parkinson's disease develop motor disturbances often accompanied by peripheral autonomic dysfunctions, including gastrointestinal disorders, such as dysphagia, gastric stasis and constipation. While the mechanisms subserving enteric autonomic dysfunctions are not clearly understood, they may involve the enteric dopaminergic and/or nitrergic systems. In the present study, we demons...
متن کاملLesions outside the CNS in Parkinson's disease.
Parkinson's disease (PD) is not a simple movement disorder induced just by loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta. Apparently, the substantia nigra is not the only or the first brain region damaged in PD. Moreover, older and recent studies have shown that the degenerative process in PD is much more extensive and affects not only the central nervous system (CNS) but a...
