Research Article: Association between pain threshold and manifested pain assessed using a PD-specific pain scale in Parkinson's disease

Date Published: 2024-07-25

Abstract:
Background: The neurodegenerative process in Parkinson's disease (PD) affects both dopaminergic and non-dopaminergic structures, which determine the wide range of motor and non-motor symptoms (NMS), including different types of pain.
