Patrick K, Cousins E, Spitznagel MB. Associations between cognitive screening performance and motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease:a systematic review and meta-analysis. Dement Neuropsychol 2024; 18:e20230102. [PMID: 39258165 PMCID: PMC11386525 DOI: 10.1590/1980-5764-dn-2023-0102] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2024] [Accepted: 04/27/2024] [Indexed: 09/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Although the most prominent symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD) are those impacting movement, cognitive dysfunction is prevalent and often presents early in the disease process. Individuals with cognitive symptoms of PD often complete cognitive screening, making it important to identify factors associated with cognitive screening performance to ensure prompt and accurate detection of cognitive impairments. Objective Despite a body of research examining relationships between motor symptoms and cognitive dysfunction in PD, no prior study has undertaken a systematic review of the magnitude of the relationship between motor symptoms and cognitive screening performance in PD. Methods This study was a systematic review and meta-analysis of the relationship between cognitive screening performance, as assessed by the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), and motor symptoms of PD. After the systematic screening, 20 studies were included, and meta-regressions using mixed-effects models were conducted. Results Motor symptoms across included studies were relatively mild, but average MoCA scores were at the established cutoff for risk of dementia in PD. The average disease duration was 5 years. Consistent with hypotheses, more severe motor symptoms were associated with lower MoCA scores (r=-0.22 (95%CI -0.29 to -0.16), p<0.001), indicating worse cognitive functioning. Conclusion The results indicate a significant negative correlation between MoCA performance and motor symptoms of PD. Average MoCA scores captured early disease-stage cognitive impairment when motor symptoms remained relatively mild. Serial screening for cognitive impairment beginning early in the disease course may be of benefit to ensure that cognitive dysfunction is detected as it arises.

Abstract
Background Until recently, treatments for chronic pain commonly relied on in-person interventions, and despite more hybrid care options today, capacity for delivery remains challenged. Digital programs focusing on the psychosocial aspects of pain may provide low-barrier alternatives. Aims Through a randomized controlled trial, we investigated the effectiveness of a multimodal mobile application. Methods Participants (n = 198; 82% women, mean age = 46.7 [13.1] years; mean pain duration 13.6 [11.2] years) with nonmalignant chronic pain were randomized to either a 6-week intervention (n = 98) or a wait-listed usual care group (n = 100). The intervention involved regular engagement with a user-guided mobile application (Curable Inc.) informed by the biopsychosocial model of pain that included pain education, meditation, cognitive behavioral therapy, and expressive writing. The co-primary outcomes were pain severity and interference at 6 weeks. Results We observed significant improvements in the intervention group compared to the control group with estimated changes of -0.67 (95% confidence interval [CI] -1.04 to -0.29, P < .001, d = 0.43) and -0.60 (95% CI -1.18 to -0.03, P = .04, d = 0.27) for pain severity and interference, respectively. There were significant improvements across secondary outcomes (Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System pain interference; pain catastrophizing; anxiety, depression; stress). Frequency of app use was correlated with improved pain interference (P < .001) and pain catastrophizing (P = 0.018), and changes from baseline persisted in the intervention group at 12 weeks (P < .05). Conclusions A short-term mobile app intervention resulted in significant improvements across physical and mental health outcomes compared to wait-listed usual care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) often report chronic pain, which is one of the most complex non-motor symptoms. Therefore, this study aims to review the literature on the characteristics of pain in patients with PD. METHODS A systematic literature review was conducted following MOOSE recommendations. Observational studies reporting pain in patients with PD were included. No time restrictions were applied, but studies in Portuguese, Spanish, and English were considered. The search was performed in PubMed®, LILACS, and SciELO databases. RESULTS Twenty-six articles of observational studies were identified, reporting an average pain prevalence of 67.36%, emphasizing the significance of this symptom in the PD population. Pain was reported in various body regions, including lower limbs, upper limbs, lumbar spine, cervical spine, and other joints. Pain classification varied, encompassing musculoskeletal pain, PD-related pain, neuropathic pain, and dystonic pain, among others. DISCUSSION Pain in patients with PD is a prevalent and multifactorial condition, significantly impacting patients' quality of life. CONCLUSION Heterogeneity in data across included studies was observed, highlighting the need for additional research to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of pain in patients with PD and develop effective therapeutic strategies to address this symptom and improve the quality of life for individuals living with the disease.

PARKINSON'S DISEASE 2024; 2024:8515400. [PMID: 38828214 PMCID: PMC11144069 DOI: 10.1155/2024/8515400] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2023] [Revised: 04/24/2024] [Accepted: 05/04/2024] [Indexed: 06/05/2024]
Abstract
Introduction Pain in Parkinson's disease (PD) is common but poorly understood, with most research to date taking a mechanistic approach. This mixed methods study takes a broader biopsychosocial approach to assess and describe contributors of pain and explore pain management and the relationship between pain and physical activity in people with PD (PwPD) and chronic pain. Methods A structured survey evaluated respondents' contributors of pain using standardized, self-report assessments of the following: pain, peripheral neuropathy, central nociplastic change, emotional dysregulation or pathology, and maladaptive cognitions. Semistructured individual interviews were conducted with purposively sampled survey participants and analyzed using inductive thematic analysis. Results Eighty-nine PwPD (mean age 67 years, 55% female) completed the survey. The most common pain contributors were maladaptive cognitions (62%), central nociplastic change (49%), and emotional dysregulation (44%). Approaches to pain management and the response to physical activity were variable within and across individuals with different pain contributors. Four themes emerged from interviews with 24 participants: (1) causative perceptions of pain are diverse; (2) sense of control influences disease acceptance and exercise self-efficacy; (3) belief in the value of therapy; and (4) pain as the unspoken PD symptom. Physical activity was used by PwPD for pain management; however, the relationship between pain and physical activity varied based on sense of control. Conclusions Clinicians should screen for pain and assess its contributors to provide individualized, multidimensional pain management that considers the biological, psychological, and social factors of pain in PwPD. It is plausible that such an approach would promote a better sense of control for PwPD.

Abstract
Pain is a distressing and universal experience, yet everyone's pain experience is influenced by a complex array of biological, psychological, and social factors. For people with Parkinson's disease (PwP), these biopsychosocial factors include neurodegeneration and the psychological and social factors that accompany living with a chronic, neurodegenerative condition in addition to the factors experienced by those in the general population (e.g., living with co-morbidities such as osteoarthritis). The way these factors influence each individual is likely to determine which pain management strategies are optimal for them. This review first describes pain and the biopsychosocial model of pain. It explores how pain is classified in Parkinson's disease (PD) and describes the three main types of pain: nociceptive, neuropathic, and nociplastic pain. This background provides context for a discussion of non-pharmacological pain management strategies that may aid in the management of pain in PwP; exercise, psychological strategies, acupuncture and massage. While there is little PD-specific research to inform the non-pharmacological management of pain, findings from current PD research are combined with that from chronic pain research to present recommendations for clinical practice. Recommendations include assessment that incorporates potential biopsychosocial contributors to pain that will then guide a holistic, multi-modal approach to management. As exercise provides overall benefits for PwP, those with chronic pain should be carefully monitored with exercise prescribed and adjusted accordingly. Research is needed to develop and evaluate multi-modal approaches to pain management that are delivered in a biopsychosocial framework.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate the direct effects of pain-induced depression and anxiety, as well as the mediating role of psychological resilience, on the psychological distress associated with rheumatoid arthritis. The method involved a sample of 196 patients with rheumatoid arthritis and applied the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, and visual analog scale for pain. Bivariate and path analyses were performed, and a multiple mediational model was utilized. Results showed that all correlations among study variables were significant (p < 0.01). A partial mediation effect of psychological resilience was observed, and direct effects among the variables (pain, psychological resilience, anxiety, and depression) were statistically significant, including the direct effect of psychological resilience on depression and anxiety. The indirect effects of pain through psychological resilience on depression and anxiety were also significant. Thus, the results suggest that psychological resilience partially mediates the effects of pain-induced anxiety and depression in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Pain is very prevalent in Parkinson's and challenging to manage. As many people with Parkinson's (PwP) with pain suffer from anxious and depressive symptoms, we examined the role of catastrophizing in mediating the relationship between pain and psychological distress for this population. METHODS 169 international PwP completed an online survey with socio-demographic and medical data. Participants completed psychometric tests to assess their pain (King's Parkinson's Disease Pain Questionnaire, McGill Pain Questionnaire and Brief Pain Inventory), psychological distress (Beck Depression Inventory and Parkinson Anxiety Scale), pain coping strategies (Coping Strategies Questionnaire) and pain catastrophizing (Pain Catastrophizing Scale). RESULTS Depending on the tool used, 82.8% to 95.2% of participants reported pain. 23.5 % and 67.5% of participants showed respectively significant levels of depressive and anxiety symptoms. Psychological distress was significantly correlated with the quality of pain (both sensory and affective dimensions). Statistical models highlighted the mediating role of catastrophizing in the relationship between psychological distress and pain in Parkinson's. CONCLUSION These findings offer new perspectives toward understanding the underlying mechanisms of pain in Parkinson's and for effective therapeutic intervention goals to facilitate adaptation to pain symptoms in Parkinson's.
