Background: GSS is a…Potentially inappropriate medication useage among patients newly diagnosed with dementia with Lewy bodies
Objective: Investigate the use of potentially inappropriate medications (PIM) among patients newly diagnosed with dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). Background: PIM, including anticholinergics, are associated…Association Between Anticholinergic Burden, MCI, and Cholinergic Denervation
Objective: To characterize the relationship between anticholinergic burden (ACB), mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and its underlying cholinergic pathology. Background: MCI is a common phenomenon in…Changes in anticholinergic burden in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) after bilateral deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the globus pallidus (GP) and subthalamic nucleus (STN)
Objective: To evaluate the effect of GP and STN DBS upon anticholinergic medication burden in patients with PD. Background: Medications with anticholinergic effects are commonly…Hyperkinetic movement disorder following Covid: A Temporal corelation or Coincidental ?
Objective: Hypokinetic movement disorder and parkinsonian like picture has been well described in literature but hyperkinetic movements are extremely rare and less highlighted in global…Adult-onset axial dystonia: a rare condition that can lean on an early combined treatment approach
Objective: To describe a rare case of adult-onset axial dystonia treated successfully with a combined therapeutic approach. Background: Adult-onset truncal dystonia is an unusual condition…Low dose trihexyphenidyl use causes cognitive dysfunction in Parkinson’s disease patients.
Objective: Evaluate cognitive performance in Parkinson's disease patients receiving a low dose of trihexyphenidyl (THP). Background: Before L-Dopa's discovery, anticholinergic drugs were among the first…Effectiveness and Tolerability of Mirabegron and Behavioral Therapy in Patients with Parkinson’s Disease and Overactive Bladder: A Prospective, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Pilot Study
Objective: To assess safety, tolerability, and efficacy of mirabegron and Pelvic floor Exercise (PFE)-based behavioral therapy for the treatment of overactive bladder (OAB) in patients…Anticholinergic Burden in Parkinson’s Disease Patients in India – A Hospital Based Study
Objective: To determine the cumulative anticholinergic burden in Indian Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients and to correlate the same with cognitive impairment and gait disturbance. Background:…Anticholinergic Use in Parkinson’s Disease: Practice Patterns in Patients with Cognitive Impairment
Objective: To explore utilization of anticholinergic medications using the Parkinson Foundation Quality Improvement Initiative (PF-QII) registry. Background: Recent publications have highlighted the association between anticholinergic…
