Abstract:
Objective To observe the dyskinesias and motor fluctuation in patients with Parkin-son’s disease, and investigate their influential factors. Methods The detail information of dyskinesias and motor fluctuation of 63 patients with Parkinson’s disease were recorded and followed up when the of L-Dopa therapy was carried out, and all patients were assessed by using UPDRS at “on” and “off” stage, Hoehn and Yahr scale, Schwab and England living scale.The data were calculated with SPSS 10.0 statistic software. Results All patients received alone or combined L-Dopa therapy.Among the 63 patients, 11 (17.5%) were experienced dyskinesias, in which 10 show dystonia; and 36 were (57.1%) experienced motor fluctuation, in which 28 developed wearing-off.The mean daily dose of L-dopa and score of UPDRS in “off” stage were positively correlated with dyskinesias.The duration of therapy with L-dopa was positively correlated with motor fluctuation.The controlled release cabidopa/levodopa was in negative correlation. Conclusions The rate of motor fluctuation was approximately equal to the results reported in other countries.The dyskinesias was lower in occurrence and the mean daily dose of L-dopa and the disease severity should be the main influencing factors to the dyskinesias.The duration of therapy with L-dopa should be influencing factor to motor fluctuation.The main subtype of motor complications should be dystonia and wearing-off.
