Swallowing abnormalities and dyskinesia in Parkinson's disease

Abstract: Gastrointestinal abnormalities in Parkinson's disease (PD) have been known for almost two centuries, but many aspects concerning their pathophysiology have not been completely clarified. The aim of this study was to characterize the oropharyngeal dynamics in PD patients with and without levodopa-induced dyskinesia. Fifteen dyskinetic, 12 nondyskinetic patients, and a control group were included. Patients were asked about dysphagia and evaluated with the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale Parts II and III… Show more

“…27,28 In the present cohort, 6 of 26 patients were in the SIon group, suggesting that the effect may be more common than suspected. One possible explanation is that on-phase dysphagia is similar to a dyskinetic effect of medication on the swallowing pathway.…”
