Abstract
We review the epidemiologic literature on potential protective and risk factors in Parkinson's Disease (PD). Prior research identified numerous possible protective and risk factors. Potential protective factors include tobacco abuse, physical activity, urate levels, NSAID use, calcium channel blocker use, statin use, and use of some α1-adrenergic antagonists. Some potential protective factors could be products of reverse causation, including increased serum urate, tobacco abuse, and coffee-tea-caffeine consumption. Potential risk factors include traumatic brain injury, pesticide exposure, organic solvent exposure, lead exposure, air pollution, Type 2 Diabetes, some dairy products, cardiovascular disease, and some infections including Hepatitis C, H. pylori, and COVID-19. Potential non-environmental risk factors include bipolar disorder, essential tremor, bullous pemphigoid, and inflammatory bowel disease. There is an inverse relationship with PD and risk of most cancers. Though many potential protective and risk factors for PD were identified, research has not yet led to unique, rigorous prevention trials or successful disease-modifying interventions. While efforts to reduce exposure to some industrial toxicants are well justified, PD incidence might be most effectively reduced by mitigation of risks, such as Type 2 Diabetes, air pollution, traumatic brain injury, or physical inactivity, that are general public health intervention targets.

Abstract
Parkinsonism induced by dopamine receptor antagonists, traditionally considered completely reversible following offending drug withdrawal, may unmask a degenerative parkinsonism in the patients with an underlying subclinical disease. In elderly patients, parkinsonism induced by the calcium channel blockers such as piperazine derivates cinnarizine and flunarizine may persist following drug discontinuation resulting in a permanent nonprogressive syndrome fulfilling the criteria for tardive parkinsonism. Whether this outcome occurs also following exposure to dopamine receptor antagonists such as neuroleptics and benzamide derivates or represents a class effect of the voltage-gated L-type calcium channel blockers, such as cinnarizine and flunarizine, due to their complex pharmacodynamic properties remains to be established.

Abstract
Secondary parkinsonism induced by exposure to dopamine (DA) receptor antagonists as first and second generation antipsychotics, DA storage depleters, calcium channel blockers, benzamides substituted and other classes of drugs is traditionally believed to be completely reversible in most of patients following withdrawal of the offending drug even though after a variable time delay. The lack of recovery or initial full recovery with subsequent development of progressive parkinsonism has been regarded to result from an underlying subclinical degenerative process like PD unmasked by the inducing drug. These well-recognized clinical outcomes of drug-induced parkinsonism (DIP) have disregarded the existence of another outcome, characterized by permanent non-progressive parkinsonism. This syndrome may fullfil the criteria of tardive parkinsonism, a controversial entity currently referred to as a persistent condition without indication of its long-term course and clinical features. On reviewing the published literature on DIP, we have identified two prospective long-term follow-up of elderly patients in which parkinsonism induced by the calcium channel antagonists cinnarizine and flunarizine became permanent and non-progressive following drug discontinuation in a non-negligible proportion of patients, consistent with the clinical concept of a true tardive syndrome, according to currently accepted criteria. The authors hypothesize that the development of tardive parkinsonism might be due to a neurotoxic effect of the pharmacodynamic proprieties of the calcium channel blockers and their metabolites, exerted on post-synaptic striatal neurons and/or a neurotoxic damage on presynaptic DA neurons in patients without an underlying subclinical degenerative parkinsonism, so accounting for the stable and non-progressive course over time.

Calcium Channel blockers are associated with reduced risk of Parkinson's disease in patients with hypertension: A population-based retrospective cohort study. J Neurol Sci 2021; 424:117412. [PMID: 33799214 DOI: 10.1016/j.jns.2021.117412] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2020] [Revised: 03/03/2021] [Accepted: 03/21/2021] [Indexed: 12/30/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers (DCCBs) was proposed to reduce the risk of Parkinson's disease (PD). This study aimed to evaluate the association between DCCB and its dose effect and the risk of PD in patients with newly diagnosed hypertension. METHODS This population-based retrospective cohort study enrolled 107,207 patients with newly diagnosed hypertension, between 2001 and 2013, from Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database. Patients who had PD before hypertension or were taking antipsychotics for more than 30 days in the 6 months prior to the end of the observation period were excluded. A Cox proportional hazard model was used to estimate the risk of PD in different groups. The dose-related effects of DCCB on the risk of PD were evaluated according to the cumulative defined daily dose (DDD). RESULTS We observed 832 (1.2%) PD cases in patients treated with DCCB as compared to 950 (2.4%) PD cases in those not treated with DCCB, during a median follow-up duration of 8.3 years and 6.2 years, respectively. The risk of PD in the DCCB-treated group (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.50) was significantly lower than that in the group without DCCB treatment. DCCB reduced the risk of PD in a dose-dependent manner, with HRs ranging from 0.61 to 0.37 for DDDs of 90-180 to >720. CONCLUSIONS DCCB treatment was associated with a significantly reduced risk of PD in patients with newly diagnosed hypertension. Further clinical trials are needed to confirm the proposed neuroprotective effects of DCCB in PD.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Cinnarizine (CNZ) and flunarizine (FNZ) belong to the calcium channel blockers class of medication.
Main text
The aim of this literature review is to evaluate the clinical epidemiological profile, pathological mechanisms, and management of CNZ/FNZ-associated movement disorder (MD). Relevant reports in six databases were identified and assessed by two reviewers without language restriction. One hundred and seventeen reports containing 1920 individuals who developed a CNZ/FNZ-associated MD were identified. The MD encountered were 1251 parkinsonism, 23 dyskinesias, 11 akathisia, 16 dystonia, and 5 myoclonus, and in the group not clearly defined, 592 extrapyramidal symptoms, 19 tremors, 2 bradykinesia, and 1 myokymia. The predominant sex was female with a percentage of 72.69% (466/641). The mean age was 74.49 (SD, 7.88) years. The mean CNZ dose was 148.19 mg (SD, 42.51) and for the FNZ dose, 11.22 mg (5.39). The mean MD onset and recovery were 1.83 years (SD, 1.35) and 3.71 months (SD, 1.26). In the subgroup of subjects that had improvement of the symptoms, the complete recovery was achieved within 6 months of the drug withdrawal in almost all subjects (99%). The most common management was drug withdrawal. A complete recovery was observed in 93.77% of the patients (437/466).
Conclusions
CNZ/FNZ-associated MD was extensively reported in the literature. Parkinsonism was the most well described. Myoclonus (MCL) was the poorest described MD with missing data about the neurological examination and electrodiagnostic studies. The knowledge of this disorder probably can contribute to the understanding of the other drug-induced MDs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Use of gabapentinoids is increasing. Following recent case reports, we investigated a putative risk of parkinsonism with pregabalin or gabapentin. METHODS A disproportionality analysis of 5,653,547 individual case safety reports in the World Health Organization individual case safety report database, VigiBase, compared all patients with parkinsonism who were receiving gabapentinoids with other patients. Results are shown as reporting odds ratios and the information component, an indicator of disproportionate Bayesian reporting. Sensitivity analyses included comparisons with drugs used for similar indications (amitriptyline, duloxetine) and exclusion of drugs that induce parkinsonism. RESULTS Among 5,653,547 reports, 4925 parkinsonism reports were found with pregabalin and 4881 with gabapentin. Gabapentin and pregabalin were associated with increased reporting odds ratio (2.16 [2.10-2.23], 2.43 [2.36-2.50]). Similar trends were found using information components after excluding drugs that induce parkinsonism and for pregabalin compared with amitriptyline or duloxetine. CONCLUSIONS This study found that gabapentinoids (particularly pregabalin) can be associated with parkinsonism. © 2019 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.

Abstract
Background: Although drug-induced parkinsonism is reversible in most cases, some patients can suffer from persistent/recurrent symptoms. Therefore, prevention is the most efficient way to manage drug-induced parkinsonism. However, there is a paucity of studies exploring the relationship between parkinsonism and drug exposure. Objective: To examine the association between drug exposure and the risk of parkinsonism using Korean population-based data. Methods: We conducted a matched case-control study using the National Health Insurance Service-National Sample Cohort database. Cases and controls were defined as individuals with and without parkinsonism, respectively, between 2007 and 2013. Cases and controls were matched for sex, age group, income, type of insurance, and Charlson comorbidity index. Drug exposures, including propulsives, antipsychotics, and flunarizine, were identified at 1 year before the first date of parkinsonism and stratified by recency and cumulative dose. Conditional logistic regression was used to estimate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% CIs. Results: We identified 5496 cases and 5496 controls. ORs for current use group of propulsives, antipsychotics, and flunarizine compared with those of the never use group were 2.812 (95% CI = 2.466-3.206), 3.009 (95% CI = 1.667-5.431), and 4.950 (95% CI = 2.711-9.037), respectively. ORs were greater in those more recently exposed and those exposed to higher cumulative doses. Conclusion and Relevance: At the population level, use of propulsives, antipsychotics, and flunarizine had a significant association with the increased risk of parkinsonism, depending on recency and cumulative dose. Drugs associated with parkinsonism should be used with careful monitoring to prevent drug-induced parkinsonism.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Drug-induced parkinsonism (DIP) is the most common movement disorder induced by antipsychotics. Although DIP is mostly symmetric, asymmetric DIP is reported in a substantial part of the patients. We investigated the frequency of motor asymmetry in DIP and its relationship to the severity of psychopathology in long-stay psychiatric patients. METHODS We obtained data from a cohort study of 207 long-stay psychiatric patients on the frequency and risk factors of tardive dyskinesia, akathisia, tardive dystonia, and DIP. From July 2003 to May 2007 (mean follow-up, 1.1 year) drug-induced movement disorders were assessed at least two times in each patient, with a frequency of persistent DIP of 56.2%. All patients who had at least one time parkinsonism in the upper/lower limb(s) were included for analyses (190 patients, 79 women; mean age, 48.0 ± 12.9 years). The Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale motor scale was used to calculate the frequency of asymmetric parkinsonism. Multilevel mixed models were built to explore the relationship between asymmetry in parkinsonism and the severity of psychopathology, measured on the Clinical Global Impression-Schizophrenia scale severity index (CGI-SCH SI). RESULTS The frequency of asymmetric parkinsonism was 20.8%. Asymmetry in parkinsonism was associated with symptom severity on all CGI-SCH SI scales (β range, 0.37-3.74) and significantly associated with the positive symptom scale (β, 3.74; 95% CI, 0.35-7.31). CONCLUSION DIP is asymmetric in a substantial part of patients. Asymmetric presentation of DIP is of clinical relevance as it is related to the severity of psychopathology and may alert the clinician of more severe psychopathology. Future research is recommended to provide insight into the neuropsychopathology and clinical value of asymmetric parkinsonism for psychiatric patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE A study was undertaken to test the association between dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker use and the time to important milestones of disease progression among patients with parkinsonism. METHODS Data were obtained from Ontario's health care administrative databases. Within a cohort of hypertensive individuals older than 65 years who developed parkinsonism, we examined the effect of the length of exposure to less brain-penetrant dihydropyridines (amlodipine) and more brain-penetrant dihydropyridines (eg, nifedipine, felodipine) on parkinsonism milestones as measured by time to requiring drug treatment for parkinsonism, nursing home admission, and death. RESULTS Among 4,733 hypertensive individuals with parkinsonism, longer treatment with any dihydropyridine was associated with a decreased risk of each of the 3 outcomes. There was no difference, however, between amlodipine (adjusted hazard ratio [HR], 0.46; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.42-0.50 for initiation of drug treatment; HR, 0.68; 95% CI, 0.63-0.73 for application for nursing home admission; and HR, 0.75; 95% CI, 0.70-0.80 for death) and nonamlodipine dihydropyridines (adjusted HRs [95% CIs], 0.45 [0.39-0.53], 0.74 [0.67-0.81], and 0.74 [0.64-0.85] for the 3 milestones, respectively). INTERPRETATION We found no specific beneficial effect of treatment with brain-penetrant dihydropyridines on delaying parkinsonism progression milestones. Dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers are unlikely to have a clinically significant effect on the course of parkinsonism, particularly Parkinson disease, in the doses used to treat hypertension.

Abstract
Drug-induced parkinsonism (DIP) is the second-most-common etiology of parkinsonism in the elderly after Parkinson's disease (PD). Many patients with DIP may be misdiagnosed with PD because the clinical features of these two conditions are indistinguishable. Moreover, neurological deficits in patients with DIP may be severe enough to affect daily activities and may persist for long periods of time after the cessation of drug taking. In addition to typical antipsychotics, DIP may be caused by gastrointestinal prokinetics, calcium channel blockers, atypical antipsychotics, and antiepileptic drugs. The clinical manifestations of DIP are classically described as bilateral and symmetric parkinsonism without tremor at rest. However, about half of DIP patients show asymmetrical parkinsonism and tremor at rest, making it difficult to differentiate DIP from PD. The pathophysiology of DIP is related to drug-induced changes in the basal ganglia motor circuit secondary to dopaminergic receptor blockade. Since these effects are limited to postsynaptic dopaminergic receptors, it is expected that presynaptic dopaminergic neurons in the striatum will be intact. Dopamine transporter (DAT) imaging is useful for diagnosing presynaptic parkinsonism. DAT uptake in the striatum is significantly decreased even in the early stage of PD, and this characteristic may help in differentiating PD from DIP. DIP may have a significant and longstanding effect on patients' daily lives, and so physicians should be cautious when prescribing dopaminergic receptor blockers and should monitor patients' neurological signs, especially for parkinsonism and other movement disorders.
