Drooling in Parkinson's disease: A review

Abstract: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease causing both motor and non-motor symptoms. Drooling, an excessive pooling and spillover of saliva out of the oral cavity, is one of the non-motor symptoms in PD patients that produces various negative physical and psychosocial consequences for patients and their caregivers. At present, the pathophysiology of drooling in PD is not completely certain; however, impaired intra-oral salivary clearance is likely the major contributor. There are neither standard… Show more

“…There are neither standard diagnostic criteria nor standard severity assessment tools for evaluating drooling in PD. In accordance with the possible pathophysiology, dopaminergic agents have been used to improve salivary clearance; however, these agents are not completely efective in drooling control [19].…”

“…22 Parosmia, which is defined as distorted odor perception in the presence of an odor source, is a much less frequent non-motor sign in PD patients 23 . Drooling is defined as excessive pooling and spillover of saliva out of the oral cavity and is considered one of the most unpleasant non-motor symptoms by patients and caregivers 24 . The main factor that causes drooling in PD patients is impaired intra-oral salivary clearance 24 .…”
