Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Palliative Care referral

Individuals with Parkinson disease identified as having specific uncontrolled symptoms or critical events will undergo standardized referral to palliative care, who will provide supportive care. During the palliative care referral, participants and their care partners may discuss symptoms, disease burden (physical, emotion, financial, and psychological), quality of life, goals of care, and advance directive completion. Palliative care specialists may recommend interventions to manage bothersome symptoms or to improve disease burden for both participants and care partners.
