New Handbook reveals the non-motor side<\/p>\n

Toronto, March 21, 2012 \u2013 People with Parkinson\u2019s disease have a new tool to help them identify the non-motor symptoms they are experiencing with their Parkinson\u2019s disease.<\/p>\n

A Guide to the Non-Motor Symptoms of Parkinson\u2019s Disease<\/a>, <\/strong>the first of its kind in Canada, is a user-friendly, educational booklet, designed to help people with Parkinson\u2019s recognize non-motor symptoms such as cognitive impairment, sleep problems and compulsive behaviours and learn about treatments and strategies to manage them.<\/p>\n

The 50-page booklet, available in English and French, is the result of a partnership between Parkinson Society Canada and the CIHR Institute of Neurosciences, Mental Health and Addiction. The author, Dr. Ronald Postuma is a researcher in neurosciences at the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre (MUHC) in Montreal.<\/p>\n

Postuma says that the booklet is intended to help people with Parkinson\u2019s identify their non-motor symptoms, record what they are experiencing using the Non-Motor Symptoms Questionnaire at the back of the booklet, and discuss these symptoms with their doctor. He cautions it is not intended to replace the advice or instruction of a professional healthcare practitioner, or to substitute medical care.<\/span>Citing a typical example, Dr. Postuma says a man with Parkinson\u2019s may present with a urinary problem that is initially thought to be a prostate issue when, in fact, it may be related to Parkinson\u2019s. \u201cMany patients do not realize that urinary problems, constipation, insomnia and other symptoms are linked to Parkinson\u2019s disease. As a result, they go untreated,\u201d says Postuma who is also a neurologist at the MUHC and an Associate Professor of Neurology and Neurosurgery in the Faculty of Medicine at McGill University. \u201cThe booklet is a simple, pragmatic tool that I hope will improve patient care,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an excellent example of the practical application of evidenced-based research that benefits clinical care,\u201d says Joyce Gordon, President \u00a0& CEO, Parkinson Society Canada.<\/p>\n
