Research Article: Impulse control disorders and use of dopamine agonists in early onset Parkinson’s disease
Abstract:
Introduction: Impulse control disorders (ICDs) are defined as excessive and repetitive behaviors that may affect Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients exposed to dopamine agonists. Current data on ICDs in patients with early-onset Parkinson’s disease (EOPD) is lacking. In this study we aim to assess the frequency of use of dopamine agonists, the prevalence of ICDs, and to explore potential factors associated with their development in patients with EOPD.
