Abstract
Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the deposition of misfolded alpha-synuclein in different regions of the central and peripheral nervous system. Motor impairment represents the signature clinical expression of Parkinson's disease. Nevertheless, non-motor symptoms are invariably present at different stages of the disease and constitute an important therapeutic challenge with a high impact for the patients' quality of life. Among non-motor symptoms, pain is frequently experienced by patients, being present in a range of 24-85% of Parkinson's disease population. Moreover, in more than 5% of patients, pain represents the first clinical manifestation, preceding by decades the exordium of motor symptoms. Pain implies a complex biopsychosocial experience with a downstream complex anatomical network involved in pain perception, modulation, and processing. Interestingly, all the anatomical areas involved in pain network can be affected by a-synuclein pathology, suggesting that pathophysiology of pain in Parkinson's disease encompasses a 'pain spectrum', involving different anatomical and neurochemical substrates. Here the various anatomical sites recruited in pain perception, modulation and processing are discussed, highlighting the consequences of their possible degeneration in course of Parkinson's disease. Starting from peripheral small fibres neuropathy and pathological alterations at the level of the posterior laminae of the spinal cord, we then describe the multifaceted role of noradrenaline and dopamine loss in driving dysregulated pain perception. Finally, we focus on the possible role of the intertwined circuits between amygdala, nucleus accumbens and habenula in determining the psycho-emotional, autonomic and cognitive experience of pain in Parkinson's disease. This narrative review provides the first anatomically driven comprehension of pain in Parkinson's disease, aiming at fostering new insights for personalized clinical diagnosis and therapeutic interventions.

Oxycodone or Higher Dose of Levodopa for the Treatment of Parkinsonian Central Pain: OXYDOPA Trial. Mov Disord 2024. [PMID: 38850081 DOI: 10.1002/mds.29878] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/19/2024] [Revised: 05/03/2024] [Accepted: 05/16/2024] [Indexed: 06/09/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Among the different types of pain related to Parkinson's disease (PD), parkinsonian central pain (PCP) is the most disabling. OBJECTIVES We investigated the analgesic efficacy of two therapeutic strategies (opioid with oxycodone- prolonged-release (PR) and higher dose of levodopa/benserazide) compared with placebo in patients with PCP. METHODS OXYDOPA was a randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, placebo-controlled, multicenter parallel-group trial run at 15 centers within the French NS-Park network. PD patients with PCP (≥30 on the Visual Analogue Scale [VAS]) were randomly assigned to receive oxycodone-PR (up to 40 mg/day), levodopa/benserazide (up to 200 mg/day) or matching placebo three times a day (tid) for 8 weeks at a stable dose, in add-on to their current dopaminergic therapy. The primary endpoint was the change in average pain intensity over the previous week rated on VAS from baseline to week-10 based on modified intention-to-treat analyses. RESULTS Between May 2016 and August 2020, 66 patients were randomized to oxycodone-PR (n = 23), levodopa/benserazide (n = 20) or placebo (n = 23). The mean change in pain intensity was -17 ± 18.5 on oxycodone-PR, -8.3 ± 11.1 on levodopa/benserazide, and -14.3 ± 18.9 in the placebo groups. The absolute difference versus placebo was -1.54 (97.5% confidence interval [CI], -17.0 to 13.90; P = 0.8) on oxycodone-PR and +7.79 (97.5% CI, -4.99 to 20.58; P = 0.2) on levodopa/benserazide. Similar proportions of patients in each group experienced all-cause adverse events. Those leading to study discontinuation were most frequently observed with oxycodone-PR (39%) than levodopa/benserazide (5%) or placebo (15%). CONCLUSIONS The present trial failed to demonstrate the superiority of oxycodone-PR or a higher dose of levodopa in patients with PCP, while oxycodone-PR was poorly tolerated. © 2024 The Author(s).

Abstract
Neurodegenerative diseases (NDs), particularly dementia, provide significant problems to worldwide healthcare systems. The development of therapeutic materials for various diseases has a severe challenge in the form of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Transdermal treatment has recently garnered widespread favor as an alternative method of delivering active chemicals to the brain. This approach has several advantages, including low invasiveness, self-administration, avoidance of first-pass metabolism, preservation of steady plasma concentrations, regulated release, safety, efficacy, and better patient compliance. Topics include the transdermal method for therapeutic NDs, their classification, and the mechanisms that allow the medicine to enter the bloodstream through the skin. The paper also discusses the obstacles and potential outcomes of transdermal therapy, emphasizing the benefits and drawbacks of different approaches.

Abstract
Over 50 million Americans endure chronic pain where many do not receive adequate treatment and self-medicate to manage their pain by taking substances like opioids and cannabis. Research has shown high comorbidity between chronic pain and substance use disorders (SUD) and these disorders share many common neurobiological underpinnings, including hypodopaminergic transmission. Drugs commonly used for self-medication such as opioids and cannabis relieve emotional, bothersome components of pain as well as negative emotional affect that perpetuates misuse and increases the risk of progressing towards drug abuse. However, the causal effect between chronic pain and the development of SUDs has not been clearly established. In this review, we discuss evidence that affirms the proposition that chronic pain is a risk factor for the development of opioid and cannabis use disorders by outlining the clinical evidence and detailing neurobiological mechanisms that link pain and drug misuse. Central to the link between chronic pain and opioid and cannabis misuse is hypodopaminergic transmission and the modulation of dopamine signaling in the mesolimbic pathway by opioids and cannabis. Moreover, we discuss the role of kappa opioid receptor activation and neuroinflammation in the context of dopamine transmission, their contribution to opioid and cannabis withdrawal, along with potential new treatments.

Abstract
Background The aim of this manuscript is to review the evidence and compare the efficacy and safety of catechol-O-methyltransferase inhibitors (COMT-Is), dopamine receptor agonists (DRAs) and monoamine-oxidase B inhibitors (MAOB-Is) as adjunctive treatment to levodopa in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) experiencing motor complications. Methods In this systematic review and network meta-analysis, literature searches were performed in MEDLINE and Embase to identify eligible randomised controlled trials (RCTs) with a minimal follow-up of at least 4 weeks published in English between 1980 and 2021. RCTs were included if either a COMT-I, DRA or MAOB-I was evaluated as an adjunctive therapy to levodopa in patients with PD experiencing motor complications and dyskinesia. The main outcomes included daily off-medication time, motor and non-motor examination scales, and adverse events including dyskinesia. Results 74 RCTs reporting on 18 693 patients were included. All three studied drug classes decreased daily off-medication time compared with placebo (COMT-Is mean -0.8 hours (95% CI -1.0 to -0.6), DRAs -1.1 hours (95% CI -1.4 to -0.8), MAOB-Is -0.9 hours (95% CI -1.2 to -0.6)). Safety analysis showed an increased risk of dyskinesia for all three drug classes (COMT-Is OR 3.3 (95% CI 2.7 to 4.0), DRAs 3.0 (95% CI 2.5 to 3.5), MAOB-Is 1.6 (95% CI 1.2 to 2.2)). According to surface under the cumulative ranking curve scores, pramipexole IR was associated with the most favourable benefit-risk profile. Conclusions COMT-Is, DRAs and MAOB-Is effectively reduce motor complications and increase incidence of dyskinesia. In the network meta-analysis, adjunctive use of DRAs appeared most effective.

Abstract
PURPOSE To translate and cross-culturally adapt the King's Parkinson's Disease Pain Scale (KPPS) into Spanish. METHODS The English KPPS was forward translated into Spanish, back translated, and revised by the original developers. Cross-cultural adaptation of relevant target groups was conducted following COSMIN standards. Cognitive pretesting in Spanish people with Parkinson's Disease (PD) and pain was performed via three semi-structured focus group meetings. Changes were implemented based on qualitative and quantitative analyses. A Delphi study (two rounds) of individual assessments by Spanish experts was conducted. Changes were implemented based on the Content Validity Index (CVI) at item and scale levels (I-CVI/S-CVI). RESULTS Five Spanish professionals performed the initial translation. Thirty-eight inter-translation inconsistencies were identified, and consensus was reached for a unified version. After back translation and confirmation with scale developers, the pre-final Spanish KPPS was obtained. Cognitive pretesting in 30 people with PD-related pain identified 5 items where terminology changes were made to assure comprehensibility. The Delphi study in 14 Spanish experts underlined the necessity to further modify two items. After the second round, all experts agreed on the modifications and I-CVI and S-CVI were satisfactory. CONCLUSIONS The KPPS was successfully translated and cross-culturally adapted into Spanish.

Abstract
Non-motor symptoms (NMS) of Parkinson's disease (PD) are well described in both clinical practice and the literature, enabling their management and enhancing our understanding of PD. NMS can dominate the clinical pictures and NMS subtypes have recently been proposed, initially based on clinical observations, and later confirmed in data driven analyses of large datasets and in biomarker-based studies. In this chapter, we provide an update on what is known about three common subtypes of NMS in PD. The pain (Park-pain), sleep dysfunction (Park-sleep), and autonomic dysfunction (Park-autonomic), providing an overview of their individual classification, clinical manifestation, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and potential treatments.

The effectiveness and safety of non-pharmacological intervention for pain management in Parkinson's disease: A systematic review. Rev Neurol (Paris) 2023:S0035-3787(23)01041-X.

Abstract
Chronic pain is a non-motor symptom affecting from 60 to 80% of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). PD patients can suffer from different types of pain, either specific or not specific of the disease, and depending on various pathophysiological mechanisms (nociceptive, nociplastic or neuropathic), which can be present at any stage of the disease. Non-pharmacological interventions (NPIs) are essential to complement routine care interventions in PD pain management. Moreover, in the literature, it has been shown that 42% of PD patients are already using complementary therapies. Hence, our aim was to investigate the effectiveness and safety of NPIs for pain management in PD. A systematic review was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. Eighteen published randomized control trials (RCTs) were included between 2004 and 2021 leading to a total of 976 PD patients. From them, we reported fifteen different NPIs classified in seven categories: physical exercises, balneotherapy, manual therapy, acupuncture, botanical preparation, body-psychological practice and multiprotection care. Our results have shown that NPIs for PD pain management had a low-to-moderate level of evidence showing mainly favourable results, even if some NPIs presented inconclusive results. Moreover, our review highlighted the clinical relevance of some specific NPIs in PD pain management: NPIs consisting of active physical activities, opposed to passive activities. The safety of NPIs was also confirmed since only few minor transient adverse events were reported. Nevertheless, even if some interesting results were found, the methodology of future studies needs to be more robust and to include comprehensive descriptions in order to offer reliable and sound recommendations to clinicians.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a prevalent neurodegenerative disorder that occurs in old age due to a decrease in dopamine, which causes nerve cell destruction. This disease is difficult to diagnose since its symptoms are similar to those of the aging process. Those with PD have impaired motor control and function, dyskinesia, and tremors. To treat PD, drugs that enhance the amount of dopamine given to the brain are administered to alleviate symptoms. This inquiry examines the prescription of rotigotine to achieve this objective. The primary objective of this review is to examine the usage of rotigotine in both the late and early stages of PD. The statistical model utilized in the review found that there was not a significant difference in the dosage of rotigotine prescribed to late and early-stage PD patients, however, there were some confounding variables that may have skewed this result; therefore, further research is necessary to validate or nullify this hypothesis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the influence of motor and autonomic disorders on the pain of patients with PD of the I-III H&Y stages and possibility of correcting the pain with dopamine receptor agonists (ADR). MATERIAL AND METHODS 252 patients (128 women and 124 men, 42-80 years old) with PD of I-III Hoehn and Yahr stages (H&Y) were examined using the following scales: UPDRS, daily activity Sch&En, quality of life PDQ-39, MMSE, BDI, PFS-16, NMSQuest, GSRS, AUA; 53 patients were piribedil treated during 6 months. RESULTS Our results indicated a wide prevalence of pain syndrome in PD patients (58.6%), starting from the early stages (50% for the Ist stage). The most stable pain associations were found with the PD stage, levodopa doses, severity of motor symptoms (postural disorders and hypokinesia manifestations) and motor complications («off-periods» and dyskinesias), as well as non-motor PD manifestations depression and autonomic dysfunctions (constipation, swallowing disorders, and frequent urination). The regression analysis showed, that the severity of motor complications and depression were the predictors of pain occurrence. The pain syndrome in patients with PD of I-III stages underwent significant regression (by 51% and 62%, after 1.5 and 6 months of therapy, respectively) after ADR (piribedil) addition to their therapy; it's probably due to improving the motor component and decreasing depressive disorders. CONCLUSIONS The piribedil inclusion contributes to the reduction of pain syndrome, regardless is it used in monotherapy or in conjunction with levodopa preparations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-motor symptoms (NMS) are an important and ubiquitous determinant of quality of life in Parkinson's disease (PD). However, robust evidence for their treatment is still a major unmet need. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to provide an updated review on advances in pharmacological, nonpharmacological, and exercise-based interventions for NMS in PD, covering the period since the publication of the MDS Task Force Recommendations. METHODS We performed a literature search to identify pharmacological, non-pharmacological, and exercise-based interventions for NMS in PD. As there are recent reviews on the subject, we have only included studies from the 1st of January 2017 to the 1st of December 2021 and limited our search to randomised and non-randomised (including open-label) clinical trials. RESULTS We discuss new strategies to manage NMS based on data that have become available since 2017, for instance, on the treatment of orthostatic hypotension with droxidopa, several dopaminergic treatment options for insomnia, and a range of non-pharmacological and exercise-based interventions for cognitive and neuropsychiatric symptoms, pain, and insomnia and excessive sleepiness. CONCLUSION Recent evidence suggests that targeted non-pharmacological treatments, as well as some other NMS management options, may have a significant beneficial effect on the quality of life and need to be considered in the pathways of treatment of PD.

Abstract
Dopamine (DA) agonists, as an excellent dopamine replacement therapy for patients with early and advanced Parkinson's disease (PD), play a vital role in controlling motor and several nonmotor symptoms. Besides, the application of DA agonists may delay levodopa therapy and the associated risk of motor complications. Indeed, each DA agonist has unique pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristics and therefore has different therapeutic efficacy and safety profile. The comorbidities, significant non-motor manifestations, concomitant medications, and clinical features of PD individuals should guide the selection of a specific DA agonist to provide a more patient-tailored treatment option. Thorough knowledge of DA agonists helps clinicians better balance clinical efficacy and side effects. Therefore, this review refers to recent English-written articles on DA agonist therapy for PD patients and summarizes the latest findings on non-ergot DA agonists as well as the advantages and disadvantages of each compound to help clinicians in the selection of a specific DA agonist. In addition, novel D1/D5 partial agonists and new formulations of DA agonists are also discussed.

Transl Neurodegener 2022; 11:43. [PMID: 36229860 PMCID: PMC9558383 DOI: 10.1186/s40035-022-00317-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2022] [Accepted: 09/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Continuous drug delivery (CDD) is used in moderately advanced and late-stage Parkinson’s disease (PD) to control motor and non-motor fluctuations (‘OFF’ periods). Transdermal rotigotine is indicated for early fluctuations, while subcutaneous apomorphine infusion and levodopa-carbidopa intestinal gel are utilised in advanced PD. All three strategies are considered examples of continuous dopaminergic stimulation achieved through CDD. A central premise of the CDD is to achieve stable control of the parkinsonian motor and non-motor states and avoid emergence of ‘OFF’ periods. However, data suggest that despite their efficacy in reducing the number and duration of ‘OFF’ periods, these strategies still do not prevent ‘OFF’ periods in the middle to late stages of PD, thus contradicting the widely held concepts of continuous drug delivery and continuous dopaminergic stimulation. Why these emergent ‘OFF’ periods still occur is unknown. In this review, we analyse the potential reasons for their persistence. The contribution of drug- and device-related involvement, and the problems related to site-specific drug delivery are analysed. We propose that changes in dopaminergic and non-dopaminergic mechanisms in the basal ganglia might render these persistent ‘OFF’ periods unresponsive to dopaminergic therapy delivered via CDD.

Abstract
Depressive symptom is the prevailing non-motor symptom of Parkinson's disease (PD). Drug treatments for depressed PD (dPD) can mitigate the symptoms of patients. However, the results are discordant and need further analysis. This systematic review with network meta-analysis aims to evaluate the drug treatments for dPD. We included double-blind, randomized controlled trials to compare antidepressants with placebo or other antidepressants in dPD. We performed traditional pairwise analysis and network meta-analysis concerning the efficacy, acceptability, depression score, and adverse effect. The surface under the cumulative ranking curve was to assess the ranking probabilities of the enrolled agents. We enrolled 62 studies, including 12,353 subjects, to analyze these estimates. For the traditional pairwise meta-analysis, dopamine agonist (DOP; OR = 2.20 [95% CI, 1.46 to 3.33]) and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI; OR = 2.30 [95% CI, 1.15 to 4.60]) were observed to improve the efficacy compared with placebo. For network meta-analysis, DOP was observed to improve the efficacy compared with placebo (OR = -0.84 [95% CI, -1.20 to -0.48]). Both direct and indirect evidence showed that several treatments, e.g., DOP, monoamine-oxidase inhibitor, serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, SSRI, and tricyclic antidepressants, significantly improved depressive symptoms. DOP and SSRI had good efficacy and improved symptoms considerably in dPD, but the adverse effect of these agents was needed to follow closely.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Optimisation of dopaminergic therapy may alleviate fluctuation-related pain in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Opicapone (OPC) is a third-generation, once-daily catechol-O-methyltransferase inhibitor shown to be generally well tolerated and efficacious in reducing OFF-time in two pivotal trials in patients with PD and end-of-dose motor fluctuations. The OpiCapone Effect on motor fluctuations and pAiN (OCEAN) trial aims to investigate the efficacy of OPC 50 mg in PD patients with end-of-dose motor fluctuations and associated pain, when administered as adjunctive therapy to existing treatment with levodopa/dopa decarboxylase inhibitor (DDCi).
Methods
OCEAN is a Phase IV, international, multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, interventional trial in PD patients with end-of-dose motor fluctuations and associated pain. It consists of a 1-week screening period, 24-week double-blind treatment period and 2-week follow-up period. Eligible patients will be randomised 1:1 to OPC 50 mg or placebo once daily while continuing current treatment with levodopa/DDCi and other chronic, stable anti-PD and/or analgesic treatments. The primary efficacy endpoint is change from baseline in Domain 3 (fluctuation-related pain) of the King’s Parkinson’s disease Pain Scale (KPPS). The key secondary efficacy endpoint is change from baseline in Domain B (anxiety) of the Movement Disorder Society-sponsored Non-Motor rating Scale (MDS-NMS). Additional secondary efficacy assessments include other domains and total scores of the KPPS and MDS-NMS, the Parkinson’s Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-8), the MDS-sponsored Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) Parts III and IV, Clinical and Patient’s Global Impressions of Change, and change in functional status via Hauser’s diary. Safety assessments include the incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events. The study will be conducted in approximately 140 patients from 50 clinical sites in Germany, Italy, Portugal, Spain and the United Kingdom. Recruitment started in February 2021 and the last patient is expected to complete the study by late 2022.
Discussion
The OCEAN trial will help determine whether the use of adjunctive OPC 50 mg treatment can improve fluctuation-associated pain in PD patients with end-of-dose motor fluctuations. The robust design of OCEAN will address the current lack of reliable evidence for dopaminergic-based therapy in the treatment of PD-associated pain.

Abstract
Non-motor symptoms (NMSs) are highly prevalent throughout the course of Parkinson's disease (PD). Pain, autonomic dysfunction and sleep disturbances remain at the forefront of the most common NMSs; their treatment is challenging and their effect on the quality of life of both patients and caregivers detrimental. Yet, the landscape of clinical trials in PD is still dominated by therapeutic strategies seeking to ameliorate motor symptoms; subsequently, effective strategies to successfully treat NMSs remain a huge unmet need. Wider awareness among industry and researchers is thus essential to give rise to development and delivery of high-quality, large-scale clinical trials in enriched populations of patients with PD-related pain, autonomic dysfunction and sleep. In this review, we discuss recent developments in the field of pharmacological treatment strategies designed or re-purposed to target three key NMSs: pain, autonomic dysfunction and sleep disturbances. We focus on emerging evidence from recent clinical trials and outline some exciting and intriguing findings that call for further investigations.

Abstract
Objective: The effects of rotigotine transdermal patch (RTG) on the neuropsychiatric symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD) outcomes remain controversial. The aim of this review was to determine the efficacy and safety of RTG on the neuropsychiatric symptoms of PD. Methods: In this systematic review and meta-analysis, PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, and Web of Science were searched for randomized controlled trials comparing RTG and placebo in PD up to May 10, 2021. We analyzed the data using Review Manager 5.2 software. The quality of evidence was assessed using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation Approach. In order to avoid false-positive results caused by random error, we use TSA software for trial sequential analysis (TSA). Results: We included 10 studies (1,844 patients). The meta-analysis showed that, compared with placebo, RTG can significantly improve the scores for Apathy Scale (MD = −1.68, 95% confidence interval, CI: −2.74 to −0.62, P = 0.002; moderate certainty), Beck Depression Inventory-II (MD = −1.19, 95% CI: −2.26 to −0.11, P = 0.03; moderate certainty), the Non-Motor Symptoms Scale (MD = −3. 66, 95% CI: −4. 30 to −3.01, P < 0.00001; moderate certainty), the sleep/fatigue domains of the Parkinson's Disease Non-motor Symptom Assessment Scale (MD = −2.03, 95% CI: −3.08 to −0.98, P = 0.0001; moderate certainty), the mood/apathy domains of the Non-motor Symptom Scale (MD = −2.48, 95% CI: −4.07 to −0.89, P = 0.002; high certainty), the eight-item Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (MD = −4. 93, 95% CI: −6.79 to −3.07, P < 0.00001; moderate certainty), and the 39-item Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (MD = −3.52, 95% CI: −5.25 to −1.79, P < 0.0001; high certainty). However, there was no statistically significant difference on the Snaith–Hamilton Pleasure Scale (MD = −0.12, 95% CI: −0.58 to 0.34, P = 0.61). Our results showed that RTG exerts a positive effect on sleep. According to the TSA, the results implied that, except for the Beck Depression Inventory-II, conclusive evidence have been obtained in the RTG group. It has been proven in our meta-analysis that rotigotine has good safety and tolerability. Conclusions: RTG can effectively improve the neuropsychiatric symptoms, sleep quality, and quality of life in patients with PD.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The non-dopaminergic and dopaminergic actions of safinamide may alleviate pain in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). We investigated the efficacy of safinamide for pain when administered as an adjunct to levodopa in Japanese patients with PD. METHODS This was a post hoc analysis of a phase 2/3 clinical study of safinamide in Japanese patients with PD who were experiencing wearing-off. Pain was assessed using the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) Part II 'sensory symptoms' item 17, on a scale of 0-4, and the 39-item Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-39) 'bodily discomfort' domain score. Subgroup analyses, according to baseline symptoms and concomitant medications, were also performed. RESULTS Least square (LS) mean changes in the UPDRS item 17 score from baseline to Week 24 in the placebo, safinamide 50-mg and safinamide 100-mg groups during the OFF phase were 0.08, -0.15 (p = 0.0133 vs placebo) and -0.18 (p = 0.0054), respectively, and during the ON phase were 0.04, -0.08 (p = 0.0529) and -0.08 (p = 0.0505), respectively. Changes from baseline to Week 24 in PDQ-39 'bodily discomfort' scores were not significantly different in safinamide groups vs placebo. The presence of moderate-to-severe bradykinesia or early-morning dystonia at baseline resulted in numerically greater effect sizes in UPDRS item 17 scores during the OFF phase. CONCLUSIONS Safinamide 50 mg and 100 mg reduced the UPDRS item 17 score in patients with PD, especially during the OFF phase. Patients with moderate-to-severe bradykinesia and early-morning dystonia may benefit from safinamide treatment.

Abstract
Background The purpose of the present study was to translate and cross-culturally adapt the King’s Parkinson’s Disease Pain Scale (KPPS) into Bulgarian and to investigate its psychometric properties in order to provide a validated Parkinson’s disease-specific pain instrument in Bulgarian language (KPPS-BG). Methods Translation into Bulgarian and a cultural adaptation were performed to obtain KPPS-BG. A total of 162 patients with idiopathic Parkinson’s disease were screened for pain using the complementary to the KPPS questionnaire – King’s Parkinson’s Disease Pain Questionnaire (KPPQ). KPPS-BG domain and total scores were calculated and internal consistency, construct validity and test-retest reliability were examined for 129 patients having one or more positive items in the KPPQ-BG. Results 79.6 % of the patients reported one or more types of pain. The most common type was musculoskeletal pain (83.7 %), followed by nocturnal pain (55.0 %), fluctuation-related pain (50.1 %), radicular pain (43.4 %), chronic pain (31.0 %), discoloration, edema/swelling (27.1 %) and, oro-facial pain (14.3 %). Mean KPPS-BG total score was 21.1 ± 17.3 SD. KPPS-BG showed a good reliability (Cronbach’s alpha 0.75). The test-retest reliability of the KPPS-BG was high and the intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.92, demonstrating а good repeatability. KPPS-BG total score was higher in patients with postural instability gait difficulty motor subtype, compared to tremor-dominant or indeterminate subtype. Significant positive correlations were found between KPPS-BG total score and modified H&Y, Movement Disorders Society Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale part III. Conclusions The KPPS-BG constitutes a reliable, comprehensive and useful tool for pain assessment in native Bulgarian patients with Parkinson’s disease.

Abstract
Pain is one of the most common and troublesome non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD). The King's Parkinson's Disease Pain Scale (KPPS) is the first scale of its kind to evaluate the burden and characterization of various phenotypes of pain in individuals with PD. The purpose of this study was to adapt the KPPS to Brazilian culture and to assess its content validity using the Delphi method. The process of adapting the original instrument to the Brazilian context occurred in six stages according to international standards. Following the pilot tests with individuals with PD, the pre-final version of the KPPS-Brazil was developed and submitted to judges to assess content validity. Three evaluation rounds were conducted, in which several corrections and changes suggested by the judges were accepted. The Content Validity Index (CVI) was calculated to determine the judges' degree of agreement. The results demonstrated that the KPPS-Brazil showed a quite satisfactory level of semantic, idiomatic, cultural, and conceptual equivalence. The judges' opinion showed adequate content validity for all of the KPPS-Brazil items and the scale. The use of the KPPS-Brazil will enable an adequate assessment of pain in individuals with PD, contributing to clinical practice and research.

Abstract
Pain is a frequent and disabling non-motor feature of Parkinson's disease (PD). The recently proposed PD Pain Classification System (PD-PCS) allows for an association of pain with PD to be determined before being allocated to the main pain mechanism (i.e. nociceptive, neuropathic, and nociplastic). In this article, previous studies on treatments for pain in PD are summarized according to the pain mechanisms. A mechanistic approach to treatment is discussed. We suggest that the first step should be optimizing dopaminergic therapy before other therapy is started. When these treatments remain unsuccessful, further causes of pain must be considered. The role of drugs, invasive treatments, and physiotherapeutic interventions are discussed with a focus on older PD patients and considering polypharmacy, altered pharmacokinetics, and comorbidities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pain is a non-motor symptom in Parkinson's disease (PD) which commonly goes underreported. Adequate treatment for pain in PD remains challenging, and to date, no clear guidelines for management are available. METHODS With the goal of understanding and organizing the current status of pain management in PD, we conducted a review of pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments for pain in patients with PD. Suitable studies cataloged in PubMed and the Cochrane database up to October 31, 2019, were included prioritizing randomized controlled trials. Post-hoc analyses and open-label studies were also included. RESULTS Treatment with levodopa increases pain thresholds in patients with PD. Apomorphine did not have similar efficacy. Duloxetine provided benefit in an open-label trial. Oxycodone-naloxone PR did not have a significant improvement in pain, but per-protocol analysis showed a reduction in pain when adherence was strong. Rotigotine patch had numerical improvement on pain scales with no statistical significance. Safinamide significantly improved the "bodily discomfort" domain in the PDQ-39 questionnaire. Botulinum toxin A had a non-significant signal toward improving dystonic limb pain in PD. DBS to the subthalamic nucleus may modulate central pain thresholds, and a pilot study of cranioelectric therapy warrants future research in the area. CONCLUSION After optimizing dopaminergic therapy, understanding the type of pain a patient is experiencing is essential to optimizing pain control in PD. While recommendations can be made regarding the treatment options in each domain, evidence remains weak and future randomized controlled studies are needed.

Abstract
Pathophysiological changes in dopamine neurons precede their demise and contribute to the early phases of Parkinson's disease (PD). Intracellular pathological inclusions of the protein α-synuclein within dopaminergic neurons are a cardinal feature of PD, but the mechanisms by which α-synuclein contributes to dopaminergic neuron vulnerability remain unknown. The inaccessibility to diseased tissue has been a limitation in studying progression of pathophysiology prior to degeneration of dopamine neurons. To address these issues, we differentiated induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from a PD patient carrying the α-synuclein triplication mutation (AST) and an unaffected first-degree relative (NAS) into dopaminergic neurons. In human-like dopamine neurons α-synuclein overexpression reduced the functional availability of D2 receptors, resulting in a stark dysregulation in firing activity, dopamine release, and neuronal morphology. We back-translated these findings into primary mouse neurons overexpressing α-synuclein and found a similar phenotype, supporting the causal role for α-synuclein. Importantly, application of D2 receptor agonist, quinpirole, restored the altered firing activity of AST-derived dopaminergic neurons to normal levels. These results provide novel insights into the pre-degenerative pathophysiological neuro-phenotype induced by α-synuclein overexpression and introduce a potential mechanism for the long-established clinical efficacy of D2 receptor agonists in the treatment of PD.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Chronic pain, highly prevalent throughout the course of Parkinson's disease (PD), has been ranked as one of the top ten most bothersome symptoms people with Parkinson's (PwP) are experiencing. Yet, robust evidence-based treatment strategies are lacking. This unmet need is partly attributable to the multifaceted nature of PD-related pain, which results in part from a complex and poorly understood interplay involving a range of neurotransmitter pathways. Degeneration of nigrostriatal dopaminergic pathways and alterations of central nervous system extra-striatal dopaminergic, noradrenergic, serotoninergic, glutamatergic, opioidergic and endocannabinoid circuits may all promote a heightened experience of pain in PwP. Thus, the potential targets for mechanism-based pain-relieving strategies in PwP are several. These targets are discussed herein. RECENT FINDINGS An increasing number of clinical trials and experimental studies in animal models of PD are being designed with the aim of addressing the pathophysiological mechanism(s) underlying PD-related pain. Overall, recent research findings highlight the analgesic effects of dopaminergic and opioidergic medication for certain subtypes of pain in PwP, whereas proposing novel strategies that involve targeting other neurotransmitter pathways. SUMMARY The origin of pain in PwP remains under investigation. Although our understanding of the mechanisms underpinning persistent pain in PD has improved in recent years, this has not yet translated to clinical alleviation of this most troublesome nonmotor symptom. Patient stratification linked with evidence-based personalized pain-treatment plans for optimal analgesic relief will rely on advances in our understanding of the dopaminergic and nondopaminergic targets outlined in this review.

Abstract
Chronic pain lasting more than 3 mo, or even several years can lead to disability. Treating chronic pain safely and effectively is a critical challenge faced by clinicians. Because administration of analgesics through oral, intravenous or intramuscular routes is not satisfactory, research toward percutaneous delivery has gained interest. The transdermal patch is one such percutaneous delivery system that can deliver drugs through the skin and capillaries at a certain rate to achieve a systemic or local therapeutic effect in the affected area. It has many advantages including ease of administration and hepatic first pass metabolism avoidance as well as controlling drug delivery, which reduces the dose frequency and side effects. If not required, then the patch can be removed from the skin immediately. The scopolamine patch was the first transdermal patch to be approved for the treatment of motion sickness by the Food and Drug Administration in 1979. From then on, the transdermal patch has been widely used to treat many diseases. To date, no guidelines or consensus are available on the use of analgesic drugs through transdermal delivery. The pain branch of the Chinese Medical Association, after meeting and discussing with experts and based on clinical evidence, developed a consensus for promoting and regulating standard use of transdermal patches containing analgesic drugs.

Abstract
People with Parkinson's disease (PD) may live for multiple decades after diagnosis. Ensuring that effective healthcare provision is received across the range of symptoms experienced is vital to the individual's wellbeing and quality of life. As well as the hallmark motor symptoms, PD patients may also suffer from non-motor symptoms including persistent pain. This type of pain (lasting more than 3 months) is inconsistently described and poorly understood, resulting in limited treatment options. Evidence-based pain remedies are coming to the fore but therapeutic strategies that offer an improved analgesic profile remain an unmet clinical need. Since the ability to establish a link between the neurodegenerative changes that underlie PD and those that underlie maladaptive pain processing leading to persistent pain could illuminate mechanisms or risk factors of disease initiation, progression and maintenance, we evaluated the latest research literature seeking to identify causal factors underlying persistent pain in PD through experimental quantification. The majority of previous studies aimed to identify neurobiological alterations that could provide a biomarker for pain/pain phenotype, in PD cohorts. However heterogeneity of patient cohorts, result outcomes and methodology between human psychophysics studies overwhelmingly leads to inconclusive and equivocal evidence. Here we discuss refinement of pain-PD paradigms in order that future studies may enhance confidence in the validity of observed effect sizes while also aiding comparability through standardisation. Encouragingly, as the field moves towards cross-study comparison of data in order to more reliably reveal mechanisms underlying dysfunctional pain processing, the potential for better-targeted treatment and management is high.

Introduction: The burden of non-motor symptoms (NMS) is a major determinant of health-related quality of life in Parkinson's disease (PD), particularly at its late stage.Areas covered: The late stage is usually defined as the period from unstable advanced to the palliative stage, characterized by a combination of emerging treatment-resistant axial motor symptoms (freezing of gait, postural instability, falls and dysphagia), as well as both non-dopaminergic and dopaminergic NMS: cognitive decline, neuropsychiatric symptoms, aspects of dysautonomia, pain and sleep disturbances (insomnia and excessive day-time sleepiness). Here, the authors summarize the current knowledge on NMS dominating the late stage of PD and propose a pragmatic and clinically focused approach for their recognition and treatment.Expert opinion: The NMS progression pattern is complex and remains under-researched. While dopamine-dependent NMS may improve with dopamine replacement therapy, non-dopamine dependent NMS worsen progressively and culminate at the late stages of PD. Furthermore, some PD specific features could interact negatively with other comorbidities, multiple medication use and frailty - the evaluation of these aspects is important in the creation of personalized management plans in the late stage of PD.

Abstract
Motor and non-motor symptoms (NMS) have a substantial effect on the health-related quality of life (QoL) of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Transdermal therapy has emerged as a time-tested practical treatment option, and the rotigotine patch has been used worldwide as an alternative to conventional oral treatment for PD. The efficacy of rotigotine on motor aspects of PD, as well as its safety and tolerability profile, are well-established, whereas its effects on a wide range of NMS have been described and studied but are not widely appreciated. In this review, we present our overall experience with rotigotine and its tolerability and make recommendations for its use in PD and restless legs syndrome, with a specific focus on NMS, underpinned by level 1-4 evidence. We believe that the effective use of the rotigotine transdermal patch can address motor symptoms and a wide range of NMS, improving health-related QoL for patients with PD. More specifically, the positive effects of rotigotine on non-motor fluctuations are also relevant. We also discuss the additional advantages of the transdermal application of rotigotine when oral therapy cannot be used, for instance in acute medical emergencies or nil-by-mouth or pre/post-surgical scenarios. We highlight evidence to support the use of rotigotine in selected cases (in addition to general use for motor benefit) in the context of personalised medicine.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the comparative effectiveness of dopamine agonists and monoamine oxidase type-B (MAO-B) inhibitors available for treatment of Parkinson's disease. METHODS We performed a systematic literature search identifying randomized controlled trials investigating 4 dopamine agonists (cabergoline, pramipexole, ropinirole, rotigotine) and 3 MAO-B inhibitors (selegiline, rasagiline, safinamide) for Parkinson's disease. We extracted and pooled data from included clinical trials in a joint model allowing both direct and indirect comparison of the seven drugs. We considered dopamine agonists and MAO-B inhibitors given as monotherapy or in combination with levodopa. Selected endpoints were change in the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) score, serious adverse events and withdrawals. We estimated the relative effectiveness of each dopamine agonist and MAO-B inhibitor versus comparator drug. RESULTS Altogether, 79 publications were included in the analysis. We found all the investigated drugs to be effective compared with placebo when given as monotherapy except safinamide. When considering combination treatment, the estimated relative effects of selegiline, pramipexole, ropinirole, rotigotine, cabergoline, rasagiline and safinamide were 2.316 (1.819, 2.951), 2.091 (1.889, 2.317), 2.037 (1.804, 2.294), 1.912 (1.716, 2.129), 1.664 (1.113, 2.418), 1.584 (1.379, 1.820) and 1.179 (1.031, 1.352), respectively, compared with joint placebo and levodopa treatment. CONCLUSIONS Dopamine agonists were found to be effective as treatment for Parkinson's disease, both when given as monotherapy and in combination with levodopa. Selegiline and rasagiline were also found to be effective for treating Parkinson's disease, and selegiline was the best option in combination with levodopa among all the drugs investigated.

Abstract
Neurological disorders, including Parkinson's disease (PD), have increased in prevalence and are expected to further increase in the coming decades. In this regard, PD affects around 3% of the population by age 65 and up to 5% of people over the age of 85. PD is a widely described, physically and mentally disabling neurodegenerative disorder. One symptom often poorly recognized and under-treated by health care providers despite being reported as the most common non-motor symptom is the finding of chronic pain. Compared to the general population of similar age, PD patients suffer from a significantly higher level and prevalence of pain. The most common form of pain reported by Parkinson's patients is of musculoskeletal origin. One of the most used combination drugs for PD is Levodopa-Carbidopa, a dopamine precursor that is converted to dopamine by the action of a naturally occurring enzyme called DOPA decarboxylase. Pramipexole, a D2 dopamine agonist, and apomorphine, a dopamine agonist, and Rotigotine, a dopamine receptor agonist, have showed efficacy on PD-associated pain. Other treatments that have shown efficacy in treating pain of diverse etiologies are acetaminophen, Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors. Opioids and opioid-like medications such as oxycodone, morphine, tramadol, and codeine are also commonly employed in treatment of chronic pain in PD. Other opioid related medications such as Tapentadol, a central-acting oral analgesic with combined opioid and noradrenergic properties, and Targinact, a combination of the opioid agonist oxycodone and the opioid antagonist naloxone have shown improvement in pain. Anticonvulsants such as gabapentin, pregabalin, lamotrigine, carbamazepine and tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) can be trialed when attempting to manage chronic pain in PD. The selective serotonin and noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) also possess pain relieving and antidepressant properties, but carry less of the risk of anticholinergic side effects seen in TCAs. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) has been shown in multiple studies to be effective against various types of PD associated pain symptoms. Massage therapy (MT) is one of the most common forms of complementary and alternative medicine. Studies have shown that pressure applied during MT may stimulate vagal activity, promoting reduced anxiety and pain, as well as increasing levels of serotonin. In a survey study of PD patients, rehabilitative therapy and physical therapy were rated as the most effective for pain reduction, though with only temporary relief but these studies were uncontrolled. Yoga has been studied for patients with a wide array of neurological disorders. In summary, PD pathology is thought to have a modulating effect on pain sensation, which could amplify pain. This could help explain a portion of the higher incidence of chronic pain felt by PD patients. A treatment plan can be devised that may include dopaminergic agents, acetaminophen, NSAIDs, opioids, antidepressants, physical therapies, DBS and other options discussed in this review. A thorough assessment of patient history and physical examination should be made in patients with PD so chronic pain may be managed effectively.

Abstract
Clinical trials of rotigotine extended-release microspheres (RTGT-MS), which provides a sustained release of rotigotine for near 2 weeks in vivo, have been conducted in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease (PD). This study was to investigate the analgesic effect of RTGT-MS, and to know whether RTGT-MS have synergistic interaction with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, celecoxib. The inflammatory pain model of rats was prepared by carrageenan-induced paw edema. The thermal and mechanical stimuli were applied and the hindpaw withdrawal latency (HWL) response was evaluated. Treatment with RTGT-MS increased the HWL in a dose-dependent manner. The ED50 of RTGT-MS was 24.68 ± 1.02 mg/kg. Isobolographic analysis shows that the combination of RTGT-MS and celecoxib resulted in a synergistic antinociceptive effect. Further results demonstrated that antinociceptive effect of RTGT-MS was accompanied with that PKA, cAMP, COX-2, and PGE2 levels were decreased. Chlorpromazine, a dopamine receptor blocker, not only weakened the analgesic effect of RTGT-MS, but also increased the levels of cAMP, PKA, COX-2, and PGE2. These findings provide a rationale for the combination of RTGT-MS and celecoxib in the treatment of PD, which may reduce the dose of celecoxib, thereby lowering the incidence of adverse effects and improving the pain management in PD patients.

Abstract
Parkinson disease (PD), as a slowly progressive neurodegenerative disorder, undergoes six neuropathological stages. The earliest clinical manifestation presents in the middle stage of the disorder pathologically, when 50% or more of the dopaminergic neurons have degenerated in the substantia nigra. This discrepancy between the early stage clinically and that pathologically has, in part, spurred the debate as to when it is best to initiate symptomatic therapy. The most well-studied monotherapeutic agents for PD in its early course include levodopa (the cornerstone of PD therapy), dopamine agonists, and monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs). With several options for initiating pharmacologic therapy, along with the heterogenous presentation of the disorder, an individualized approach is warranted. Careful deliberation must be done to optimize risk reduction while providing effective symptom control, taking the chronological age, comorbidities, social and financial disposition, work status, and both immediate- and long-term goals into consideration. Generally, treatment can be delayed in patients with mild symptoms and minimal functional impairment at any age. If treatment must be initiated, dopamine agonists and monoamine oxidase type B inhibitors can be used, especially in younger patients with milder disease. However, for older patients, those with moderate to severe PD symptoms, regardless of age, or for patients with greater comorbidities, levodopa generally remains the better choice. Eventually, regardless of initial therapy, studies have shown that most will eventually require levodopa therapy when symptoms become more disabling.

Abstract
Pain is a very frequent symptom with influence on the quality of life in Parkinson’s disease (PD), but is still underdiagnosed and commonly treated only unsystematically. Pain etiology and pain character are often complex and multi-causal, and data regarding treatment recommendations are limited. Pain can be primarily related to PD but frequently it is associated with secondary diseases, such as arthrosis of the spine or joints. However, even basically PD-unrelated pain often is amplified by motor- or non-motor PD symptoms, such as akinesia or depression. Beyond an optimization of anti-parkinsonian treatment, additional pain treatment strategies are usually needed to properly address pain in PD. A careful pain history and diagnostic work-up is essential to rate the underlying pain pathophysiology and to develop a targeted therapeutic concept. This review gives an overview on how pain is treated in PD patients and how patients assess the effectiveness of these therapies; here, the manuscript focuses on pathophysiology-driven suggestions for a multimodal pain management in clinical practice.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Long-term treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD) with levodopa is hampered by motor complications related to the inability of residual nigrostriatal neurons to convert levodopa to dopamine (DA) and use it appropriately. This generated a tendency to postpone levodopa, favoring the initial use of DA agonists, which directly stimulate striatal dopaminergic receptors. Use of DA agonists, however, is associated with multiple side effects and their efficacy is limited by suboptimal bioavailability. AREAS COVERED This paper reviewed the latest preclinical and clinical findings on the efficacy and adverse effects of non-ergot DA agonists, discussing the present and future of this class of compounds in PD therapy. EXPERT OPINION The latest findings confirm the effectiveness of DA agonists as initial treatment or adjunctive therapy to levodopa in advanced PD, but a more conservative approach to their use is emerging, due to the complexity and repercussions of their side effects. As various factors may increase the individual risk to side effects, assessing such risk and calibrating the use of DA agonists accordingly may become extremely important in the clinical management of PD, as well as the availability of new DA agonists with better profiles of safety and efficacy.

Abstract
Pain is a common and disabling non-motor symptom (NMS) of Parkinson's disease (PD), which occurs through the course of the disease, often unrecognized and undertreated. For this study, we evaluated the efficacy and safety of safinamide to reduce pain in PD patients with motor fluctuations. A total of 13 PD patients with pain receiving safinamide (Xadago®, 100 mg/daily) were prospectively evaluated for 12 weeks. The primary outcome measures were changes in the total score of the King's Pain Scale for Parkinson's Disease (KPPS), Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) Intensity and Interference, and the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). Secondary outcomes were the proportion of pain responders, changes in the Clinical Global Impression of Change (CGI), the Parkinson's disease Quality of Life 39 (PDQ39), the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale parts III and IV (UPDRS III and IV), and laser-evoked potentials (LEPs). LEPs were used to assess potential changes in the central processing of nociceptive inputs. The safety profile was evaluated based on the occurrence of treatment-emergent side effects and the dropout rate. After 12 weeks of add-on safinamide therapy, a significant improvement was noted in the primary (KPPS, BPI Intensity and interference, and NRS) and the secondary outcomes (UPDRS III, IV, CGI, and PDQ39). No significant changes in LEP complexes were observed. All patients completed the study and no treatment-emergent side effects were reported. Our preliminary findings suggest that safinamide 100 mg/day may be effective for the management of pain in PD patients with motor fluctuations and is safe. Further randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm its efficacy.

Abstract
Rotigotine is a non-ergoline, high lipophilic dopamine agonist. It is indicated as the first-line therapy for Parkinson's disease (PD) and Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS). However, the precise mechanism of rotigotine is yet to be known. Rotigotine has similar safety and tolerability to the other oral non-ergolinic dopamine antagonists in clinical trials, which include nausea, dizziness and somnolence. Neupro® was the first marketed transdermal patch formulation having rotigotine. The transdermal delivery system is advantageous as it enables continuous administration of the drug, thus providing steady-state plasma drug concentration for 24-hours. Intranasal administration of rotigotine allows the drug to bypass the blood-brain barrier enabling it to reach the central nervous system within minutes. Rotigotine can also be formulated as an extended-release microsphere for injection. Some challenges remain in other routes of rotigotine administration such as oral, parenteral and pulmonary, whereby resolving these challenges will be beneficial to patients as they are less invasive and comfortable in terms of administration. This review compiles recent work on rotigotine delivery, challenges and its future perspective.

Abstract
Continuous dopaminergic stimulation in Parkinson's disease (PD) has several advantages over pulsatile, non-continuous, stimulation. These therapies currently consist of pump-based and transcutaneous therapies and are based on a more constant delivery of the dopaminergic drug resulting in continuous dopaminergic stimulation and a more stable treatment effect. Several clinical and experimental observations have shown that continuous stimulation of dopaminergic receptors induces fewer complications, such as dyskinesia, compared to pulsatile stimulation. Currently available non-oral pharmacological continuous therapies in PD include the transdermal Rotigotine (RTG) patch, infusion therapies with Apomorphine and Intrajejunal Levodopa (IJLI) and the Rivastigmine patch. Here we aim to provide a concise review of these current therapies and discuss ongoing and future developments of continuous non-oral pharmacological dopaminergic therapies in PD.

Abstract
Rotigotine (Neupro®), a non-ergolinic dopamine agonist (DA), is administered once daily via a transdermal patch (TP) that delivers the drug over a 24-h period. In the EU, the rotigotine TP is approved as monotherapy for the treatment of early Parkinson's disease (PD) and as combination therapy with levodopa throughout the course of the disease. It is also approved for the treatment of PD in numerous other countries, including Australia, the USA, China and Japan. Rotigotine TP effectively improved motor and overall functioning in clinical trials in Caucasian and Asian patients with early PD (as monotherapy) or advanced PD (in combination with levodopa); treatment benefits appeared to be maintained in open-label extensions that followed patients for up to 6 years. Rotigotine TP was not consistently non-inferior to ropinirole and pramipexole in studies that included these oral non-ergolinic DAs as active comparators. Rotigotine TP variously improved some non-motor symptoms of PD, in particular sleep disturbances and health-related quality of life (HRQOL), based on findings from individual studies and/or a meta-analysis. Rotigotine TP was generally well tolerated, with an adverse event profile characterized by adverse events typical of dopaminergic stimulation and transdermal patch application. Available for more than a decade, rotigotine TP is a well-established, once-daily DA formulation for use in the short- and longer-term treatment of PD. It offers a convenient alternative when non-oral administration of medication is preferred and may be particularly useful in patients with gastrointestinal disturbances that reduce the suitability of oral medication.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To update evidence-based medicine recommendations for treating nonmotor symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD). BACKGROUND The International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society Evidence-Based Medicine Committee's recommendations for treatments of PD were first published in 2002, updated in 2011, and now updated again through December 31, 2016. METHODS Level I studies testing pharmacological, surgical, or nonpharmacological interventions for the treatment of nonmotor symptoms in PD were reviewed. Criteria for inclusion and quality scoring were as previously reported. The disorders covered were a range of neuropsychiatric symptoms, autonomic dysfunction, disorders of sleep and wakefulness, pain, fatigue, impaired olfaction, and ophthalmologic dysfunction. Clinical efficacy, implications for clinical practice, and safety conclusions are reported. RESULTS A total of 37 new studies qualified for review. There were no randomized controlled trials that met inclusion criteria for the treatment of anxiety disorders, rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder, excessive sweating, impaired olfaction, or ophthalmologic dysfunction. We identified clinically useful or possibly useful interventions for the treatment of depression, apathy, impulse control and related disorders, dementia, psychosis, insomnia, daytime sleepiness, drooling, orthostatic hypotension, gastrointestinal dysfunction, urinary dysfunction, erectile dysfunction, fatigue, and pain. There were no clinically useful interventions identified to treat non-dementia-level cognitive impairment. CONCLUSIONS The evidence base for treating a range of nonmotor symptoms in PD has grown substantially in recent years. However, treatment options overall remain limited given the high prevalence and adverse impact of these disorders, so the development and testing of new treatments for nonmotor symptoms in PD remains a top priority. © 2019 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.

Abstract
Background Pain is frequent in Parkinson's disease (PD) and Parkinson-plus syndrome. This study aimed to assess the prevalence, characteristics, therapy (especially the effect of dopaminergic therapy), and associated symptoms of pain in Parkinson's disease and multiple system atrophy (MSA) patients. Methods Seventy-one PD patients, sixty-five MSA patients, and forty age-matched healthy controls were enrolled and evaluated by using the German pain questionnaire and visual analogue scale (VAS). In addition, the influence of pain in PD patients on anxiety, depression, and the quality of life was assessed with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-39). Results Compared to that of the healthy controls, the PD and MSA patients had a significantly higher presence of pain (P < 0.01, P < 0.01). PD patients had a higher presence of pain than MSA patients (P=0.007). No difference in VAS scores was observed between the PD and MSA patients (P=0.148). A total of 21 PD patients (42.85%) with pain and 13 MSA patients (43.33%) with pain received treatment. A total of 13 PD patients with pain and 6 MSA patients with pain had an improved pain intensity after using dopaminergic medication. The differences in the disease duration, Hoehn and Yahr stages, and scores on the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale motor score, HAD-D, HAD-A, and PDQ-39 were significant between the PD patients with and without pain. Conclusion PD and MSA patients are prone to pain with insufficient treatment. Pain interventions should be provided as soon as possible to improve the patient's life.

Abstract
Pain is experienced by the vast majority of patients living with Parkinson's disease. It is most often of nociceptive origin, but may also be ascribed to neuropathic (radicular or central) or miscellaneous sources. The recently validated King's Parkinson's Disease Pain Scale is based on 7 domains including musculoskeletal pain, chronic body pain (central or visceral), fluctuation-related pain, nocturnal pain, oro-facial pain, pain with discolouration/oedema/swelling, and radicular pain. The basal ganglia integrate incoming nociceptive information and contribute to coordinated motor responses in pain avoidance and nocifensive behaviors. In Parkinson's disease, nigral and extra-nigral pathology, involving cortical areas, brainstem nuclei, and spinal cord, may contribute to abnormal central nociceptive processing in patients experiencing pain or not. The dopamine deficit lowers multimodal pain thresholds that are amenable to correction following levodopa dosing. Functional brain imaging with positron emission tomography following administration of H215O revealed abnormalities in the sensory discriminative processing of pain (insula/SII), as well as in the affective motivational processing of pain (anterior cingulate cortex, prefrontal cortex). Pain management is dependent on efforts invested in diagnostic accuracy to distinguish nociceptive from neuropathic pain. Treatment requires an integrated approach including strategies to lessen levodopa-related response fluctuations, in addition to other pharmacological and non-pharmacological options such as deep brain stimulation and rehabilitation.

Abstract
Background Pain is a common and undertreated non-motor symptom in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Opioids have been seldom used in PD because they could worsen cognitive and motor functions. Objective We aimed to assess efficacy and tolerability of tapentadol in PD patients. Methods We retrospectively reviewed 21 PD patients treated with tapentadol extended release (ER) for chronic pain. Patients were evaluated before treatment and at 3 and 6 months during treatment for pain intensity (current, 24-hour average, and minimum and worst) with a 0-10 Numerical Rating Scale and the painDETECT questionnaire; for motor symptom severity with the Unified PD Rating Scale part III and the Hoehn and Yahr scale; for cognitive functions with Mini-Mental Status Examination, Corsi's Block-Tapping test, Digit Span test, Digit-Symbol Substitution test, FAS test, Rey's Auditory Verbal Learning test, Trail-Making test A and B and the 9-Hole Peg test; for anxiety and depression with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale; and for the quality of life with the Short Form-12. Data were analyzed by 1-way analysis of variance and paired t-test, and by Friedman's and Wilcoxon's tests. Statistical significance was taken in all cases as P<0.05. Results Pain intensity decreased over the course of treatment. No differences were found in PD symptom severity and dopaminergic drug dosages between pretreatment and treatment evaluations. No decrement in cognitive neuropsychological performances was found and an improvement was observed in Digit Span test, Digit-Symbol Substitution test, and FAS test. The levels of anxiety, depression, and quality of life improved. Overall, tapentadol ER was well tolerated and most patients reported no or mild and short-lived gastroenterological and neurological side effects. Conclusion These results indicate the potential efficacy and tolerability of medium-high doses of tapentadol ER for the treatment of pain in PD.
