Abstract

Fluctuation-related pain (FRP) affects more than one third of people with Parkinson’s disease (PwP, PD) and has a harmful effect on health-related quality of life (HRQoL), but often remains under-reported by patients and neglected by clinicians. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommends The Parkinson KinetiGraphTM (the PKGTM) for remote monitoring of motor symptoms. We investigated potential links between the PKGTM-obtained parameters and clinical rating scores for FRP in PwP in an exploratory, cross-sectional analysis of two prospective studies: “The Non-motor International Longitudinal, Real-Life Study in PD—NILS” and “An observational-based registry of baseline PKG™ in PD—PKGReg”. 63 PwP (41.3% female; age: 64.24±9.88 years; disease duration, DD: 6.83±5.63 years; Hoehn and Yahr Stage, H&Y: 2 (1–4); Levodopa Equivalent Daily Dose 535 (0–3230) mg) were included. PwP with FRP (n = 23) had longer DD (8.88 (1.29–19.05) vs. 3.16 (0.34–28.92), p = 0.001), higher severity of motor symptoms (H&Y 3 (1–4) vs. 2 (1–4), p = 0.015; SCOPA Motor total score 21.35±10.19 vs. 13.65±8.99, p = 0.003), more dyskinesia (SCOPA Motor Item 18 ≥1 60.9% vs. 7.5%, p
