## Abstract The purpose of this study was to assess whether rivastigmine, a cholinergic agent, affects tremor features when given to improve cognition in demented Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. Demented PD patients (n = 26; Mini‐Mental State Examination score, 13–25; age, 75.2 ± 4.9 yr) were gi

## Abstract ## Background: Non‐motor symptoms are detrimental to health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) of Parkinson's disease patients. In this study, the Non‐Motor Symptoms Scale (NMSS) was used to assess the impact of the non‐motor symptoms on HRQoL of Parkinson's disease patients. ## Methods:
We used the paired associative stimulation (PAS) technique to investigate associative plasticity of the sensorimotor cortex in 16 Parkinson's disease (PD) patients off and on therapy and in 10 age-matched controls. After PAS, motor evoked potential (MEP) amplitudes increased more and the cortical si
## Abstract Animal research provides evidence that sleep deprivation influences the dopamine system. Knowledge about the effect of sleep deprivation on motor performance in patients with Parkinsons disease is scarce. This study examines the influence of total and partial sleep deprivation compared
## Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of istradefylline 20 mg once daily versus placebo as an adjunct to levodopa in subjects with Parkinson's disease (PD) who have motor fluctuations. Istradefylline (KW‐6002) is an adenosine A~2A~ receptor a
