Lack of Awareness of Symptoms (Anosognosia) in PD: An Observational Study for People With Parkinson's

NCT02561715 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL

Last updated 2020-03-25

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Anosognosia is a recognised condition for people with Parkinson's, and is the result of physiological damage on brain structure.

Surgical Parkinson Disease Nurse Specialists have noticed that when reviewing the pre-surgery videos 12 months post-DBS, patients have forgotten and are shocked at how bad their symptoms were prior to surgery (personal communication), which may not be reflected in the change in QoL reported.

This lack of awareness, while possibly helpful in everyday life, may lead to effective treatments looking ineffective, or the benefits in QoL of effective treatment appearing reduced. This confound may not only reduce the apparent effectiveness but also the related cost-effectiveness of treatment. As cost-effectiveness is determined by both size and longevity of an effect, current methods of capturing these data may be suboptimal.
