“…A patient-reported outcome that more precisely characterizes the source of communication difficulties is therefore needed. 34 Our study has its limitations. First, this study was restricted to patients considered for DBS, limiting generalizability to patients at other stages of Parkinson's disease.…”

BackgroundDecrements in verbal fluency following deep brain stimulation (DBS) in people with Parkinson's disease (PwP) are common. As such, verbal fluency tasks are used in assessing DBS candidacy and target selection. However, the correspondence between testing performance and the patient's perception of communication abilities is not well‐established.MethodsThe Communication Participation Item Bank (CPIB) was administered to 85 PwP during pre‐DBS neuropsychological evaluations. Central tendencies for CPIB responses and correlations between CPIB total scores, clinical and demographic factors, and language‐based tasks were examined.ResultsMost PwP indicated some degree of communication interference on the CPIB. Worse scores on semantic fluency and greater motor impairment were associated with more communication interference.ConclusionsOur findings suggest an incomplete correspondence between commonly used language‐based tests and patient‐reported outcomes of communication abilities. The need for a functional communication instrument that reflects the different aspects of communication abilities in functional contexts is emphasized.

“…Only a few controlled studies evaluated subjective voice quality impairments in IPD. The voice quality self‐assessment approaches based on a standardised questionnaire are less dependent from the method used than self‐evaluations based only on a practitioner's anamnesis . It is thus easier to compare different studies observations to draw an overall conclusion.…”

The majority of studies supported that VQ assessments remain useful as outcome measures of the effectiveness of medical treatment and could be helpful for the IPD diagnosis based on L-Dopa challenge testing. Further controlled studies using standardised and transparent methodology for measuring acoustic parameters are necessary to confirm the place of each tool in both IPD diagnosis and treatment evaluation.

“…We included clinically diagnosed PD patients [17] who were well compensated on their stable dopaminergic medication with intelligible speech production and without subjective HD symptom complaints based on the self-evaluation voice handicap index questionnaire [18] and without major motor fluctuations or dyskinesias. The patients were longitudinally followed at the First Department of Neurology, Faculty of Medicine and St. Anne's University Hospital, Masaryk University, Brno, Czech Republic.…”

Introduction: Hypokinetic dysarthria (HD) is common in Parkinson's disease (PD). Our objective was to evaluate articulatory networks and their reorganization due to PD pathology in individuals without overt speech impairment using a multimodal MRI protocol and acoustic analysis of speech. Methods: A total of 34 PD patients with no subjective HD complaints and 25 age-matched healthy controls (HC) underwent speech task recordings, structural MRI, and reading task-induced and resting-state fMRI. Grey matter probability maps, task-induced activations, and resting-state functional connectivity within the regions engaged in speech production (ROIs) were assessed and compared between groups. Correlation with acoustic parameters was also performed. Results: PD patients as compared Tto HC displayed temporal decreases in speech loudness which were related to BOLD signal increases in the right-sided regions of the dorsal language pathway/articulatory network. Among those regions, activation of the right anterior cingulate was increased in PD as compared to HC. We also found bilateral posterior superior temporal gyrus (STG) GM loss in PD as compared to HC that was strongly associated with diadochokinetic (DDK) irregularity in the PD group. Task-induced activations of the left STG were increased in PD as compared to HC and were related to the DDK rate control. Conclusions: The results provide insight into the neural correlates of speech production control and distinct articulatory network reorganization in PD apparent already in patients without subjective speech impairment.
