Abstract
Impulse control disorders in Parkinson's disease are relatively common drug-induced addictive behaviours that are usually triggered by the dopamine agonists pramipexole, ropinirole and rotigotine. This narrative review aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of the current knowledge of impulse control disorders in Parkinson's disease. We summarised the prevalence, clinical features, risk factors and potential underlying mechanisms of impulse control disorders in Parkinson's disease. Moreover, recent advances in behavioural and imaging characteristics and management strategies are discussed. Early detection as well as a tailored multidisciplinary approach, which typically includes careful adjustment of the dopaminergic therapy and the treatment of associated neuropsychiatric symptoms, are necessary. In some cases, a continuous delivery of levodopa via a pump or the dopamine D1 receptor agonist, apomorphine, can be considered. In selected patients without cognitive or speech impairment, deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus can also improve addictions. Finding the right balance of tapering dopaminergic dose (usually dopamine agonists) without worsening motor symptoms is essential for a beneficial long-term outcome.

Management of Impulse Control and Related Disorders in Parkinson's Disease: An Expert Consensus. Mov Disord 2024; 39:235-248.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Impulse-control and related behavioral disorders (ICBDs) significantly impact the lives of Parkinson's disease (PD) patients and caregivers, with lasting consequences if undiagnosed and untreated. While ICBD pathophysiology and risk factors are well-studied, a standardized severity definition and treatment evidence remain elusive. OBJECTIVE This work aimed to establish international expert consensus on ICBD treatment strategies. To comprehensively address diverse treatment availabilities, experts from various continents were included. METHODS From 2021 to 2023, global movement disorders specialists engaged in a Delphi process. A core expert group initiated surveys, involving a larger panel in three iterations, leading to refined severity definitions and treatment pathways. RESULTS Experts achieved consensus on defining ICBD severity, emphasizing regular PD patient screenings for early detection. General treatment recommendations focused on continuous monitoring, collaboration with significant others, and seeking specialist advice for legal or financial challenges. For mild to severe ICBDs, gradual reduction in dopamine agonists was endorsed, followed by reductions in other PD medications. Second-line treatment strategies included diverse approaches like reversing the last medication change, cognitive behavior therapy, subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation, and specific medications like quetiapine, clozapine, and antidepressants. The panel reached consensus on distinct treatment pathways for punding and dopamine dysregulation syndrome, formulating therapy recommendations. Comprehensive discussions addressed management strategies for the exacerbation of either motor or non-motor symptoms following the proposed treatments. CONCLUSION The consensus offers in-depth insights into ICBD management, presenting clear severity criteria and expert consensus treatment recommendations. The study highlights the critical need for further research to enhance ICBD management. © 2024 The Authors.

Abstract
Background Punding is a stereotyped behavior characterized by an intense fascination with a complex, excessive, non-goal oriented, repetitive activity affecting individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD) on dopamine replacement therapy (DRT). Objectives In 2010, we published the first review focused on the pathophysiology of punding. This study aims to systematically review the literature of the past decade on punding in PD, particularly focusing on the clinical features, underlying pathophysiological mechanisms, and treatment. Methods Following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines, we searched PubMed, Embase, and APA PsycInfo for articles published between July 1, 2010 and March 19, 2022. The search strategy included: (punding) AND (parkinson*). Results Of 256 studies identified, 29 were eligible for inclusion with 19 original research articles and 10 case reports. This review confirmed that predictors of punding in PD are higher doses of DRT, younger age, male sex, and increasing disease severity. We also found an association between punding and psychiatric and/or cognitive symptoms. Neuroimaging studies have showed that punding in PD is associated with a disconnection between midbrain, limbic and white matter tracts projecting to the frontal cortices and a breakdown of the connectivity among the crucial nodes of the reward circuit. Low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation on the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex has been shown to produce a transient beneficial effect in PD patients with punding. Conclusion In conclusion, although the clinical features of punding have been established, in the past 12 years, we gained a better understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms of punding, mainly thanks to magnetic resonance imaging techniques.
