摘 要:Background:Fatigue,which is commonly observed in Parkinson’s disease(PD),can greatly reduce quality of life and is difficult to *** here aimed to investigate the prevalence and characteristics of fatigue among PD patients and to explore an effective strategy to treat PD ***:This was an observational cross-sectional study conducted in northeastern *** examined fatigue in 222 PD patients from northeastern China using the Parkinson Fatigue Scale-16(PFS-16).The disease severity,depression,sleep and cognitive functioning were assessed with the Hoehn&Yahr staging(H-Y stage),Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale(UPDRS),Hamilton Depression Scale(HAMD),Parkinson’s Disease Sleep Scale(PDSS)and Montreal Cognitive Assessment(MoCA)by ***:The frequency of fatigue in PD patients was 59.46%.Fatigued patients had longer disease durations and greater disease severity than nonfatigued ***,fatigued PD patients scored significantly higher for all motor symptoms,except for tremor,and had more serious depressive symptoms and sleep disturbances than nonfatigued PD patients *** sleep disturbance severity was an independent factor for ***,43.04% of fatigued patients taking dopaminergic drugs had fatigue *** severity was identified as an independent factor for dopaminergic drug non-responsive ***:PD patients with severe sleep disturbances tend to suffer from *** improved fatigue only in PD patients with mild depression or no depression,implying that dopaminergic medication is required,but not sufficient,for fatigue suppression in PD patients with moderate or severe ***,restoring serotonergic neurotransmission as a combination therapy may offer a better strategy for the treatment of fatigue in these patients.
