Abstract:
Parkinson′s disease (PD) is one of the most common progressive neurodegenerative diseases, with clinical symptoms that include motor and non-motor symptoms. Motor symptoms, including static tremor, myotonia and bradykinesia, are the most commonly observed symptoms. Non-motor symptoms include neuropsychiatric symptoms, dementia, sleep disorders, salivation, fatigue, pain, orthostatic hypotension, gastrointestinal dysfunction, urinary dysfunction, hyperhidrosis, and impaired smell. Compared with motor symptoms, non-motor symptoms are not prominent, but seriously affect the daily life of patients. In clinical practice, some patients have hyperhidrosis before the onset of the disease. With the progression of PD, this hyperhidrosis symptom becomes more and more aggravated, causing serious sleep problems and even developing into depression and anxiety, which seriously affects the daily life of patients. Hyperhidrosis is one of the least studied non-motor symptoms in PD. This article will discuss the diagnosis of hyperhidrosis in PD patients, and summarize the latest progress of hyperhidrosis in PD patients.
