Abstract:
Fatigue is one of the most common nonmotor symptoms in Parkinson's disease and may affect a wide range of everyday activities, cause disability and reduce quality of life. It occurs at every stage of PD, and once present will often persist and may worsen over time. Lack of a consensus of definition and classification, and a range of different self-reporting scales has so far made the study of fatigue challenging. We review a unifying taxonomy for defining fatigue in clinical and research contexts as well as case definition criteria for PD-related fatigue. The potential causes of fatigue in PD are discussed as are recommendations for treatment.
