- Impulse control disorders and other non-motor symptoms in Sri Lankan patients with Parkinson's diseaseby H M M T B Herath on October 18, 2024
The impact of non-motor symptoms is often overlooked in favour of the motor symptoms when managing Parkinson's disease resulting in suboptimal patient outcomes. This study aimed to characterise the non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease in a cohort of Sri Lankan patients with a special focus on the impulsive control disorders and other compulsive behaviours (ICDs-CB) that had not been previously studied in this population. All patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease followed up at the...
- Development and Acceptability of Provider Training to Increase Treatment Engagement of Parents in Their Children's Behavioral Health Care Needby Ukamaka M Oruche on October 8, 2024

Our research team is developing an intervention to improve parental engagement in the behavioral health care of their children with DIC. The intervention, which will be a modification of an evidence-based shared decision-making intervention called DECIDE, will...

Neuropsychiatric symptoms (including anxiety, depression, apathy, impulse-compulsive behaviors and hallucinations) are among the most common non-motor features of Parkinson's disease. Whether these symptoms should be considered as a direct consequence of the pathophysiologic mechanisms of Parkinson's disease is controversial. Morphometric similarity network analysis and epicenter mapping approach were performed on T1-weighted images of 505 patients with Parkinson's disease and 167 age- and...
