Dopaminergic Stimulation

Two patient cases are presented here that illustrate the benefits of continuous dopaminergic stimulation on the non-motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. In both cases, levodopa/carbidopa intestinal gel infusion therapy led to improvements in anxiety, depression, concentration, urge incontinence, sexual function, sleep, vivid dreams and rapid eye movement sleep behaviour disorder, pain, sweating and feelings of self-assuredness. Such improvements have an impact on patients’ quality of life and can help their social functioning.
