Caregiver’s distress was assessed by Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI) and a QoL survey to evaluate and understand the burden experienced by care partners during family and working activities.Results: A total of 126 patients (53 LCIG, 19 CSAI and 54 CU) and their care partners were enrolled. The ZBI score boxplot showed that LCIG and CU populations have a similar distribution (ZBI inter-quartile range [IQR] values respectively 18– 42 for LCIG and 19– 43 for CU group), while the CSAI group has a wider score range (IQR 16– 52). Caregivers assisting patients in treatment with LCIG have more time to perform family or household duties (p=0.0022), or to engage in leisure activities (p=0.0073) compared to CU, while no difference was found when compared to CSAI group. Approximately 50% of the care partners showed mood changes in the last 6 months and LCIG and CSAI had less impact on caregiver’s mood compared to CU. Patients treated with LCIG were more independent in taking a bath or shower without assistance and were more able to move and walk without assistance.Conclusion: Care partners of advanced PD patients treated with device-aided therapies have more time for their own life and a better perception of their QoL with a tendency to an improvement of mood compared with those of patients treated with CU.Keywords: advanced Parkinson’s disease, levodopa/carbidopa, intestinal infusion, caregiver burden, quality of life; QoL

Daniele Belvisi,1 Isabella Berardelli,2 Antonio Suppa,1,3 Andrea Fabbrini,3 Massimo Pasquini,3 Maurizio Pompili,2 Giovanni Fabbrini1,3 1IRCCS Neuromed, Pozzilli, Italy; 2Department of Neurosciences, Mental Health and Sensory Organs, Suicide Prevention Center, Sant’Andrea Hospital, Sapienza University of Rome, Rome, Italy; 3Department of Human Neurosciences, Sapienza University of Rome, Rome, Italy Abstract: Multiple system atrophy (MSA), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), and corticobasal degeneration (CBD) are the most common atypical parkinsonisms. These disorders are characterized by varying combinations of autonomic, cerebellar and pyramidal system, and cognitive dysfunctions. In this paper, we reviewed the evidence available on the presence and type of neuropsychiatric disturbances in MSA, PSP, and CBD. A MedLine, Excerpta Medica, PsycLit, PsycInfo, and Index Medicus search was performed to identify all articles published on this topic between 1965 and 2018. Neuropsychiatric disturbances including depression, anxiety, agitation, and behavioral abnormalities have been frequently described in these disorders, with depression as the most frequent disturbance. MSA patients show a higher frequency of depressive disorders when compared to healthy controls. An increased frequency of anxiety disorders has also been reported in some patients, and no studies have investigated apathy. PSP patients may have depression, apathy, disinhibition, and to a lesser extent, anxiety and agitation. In CBD, neuropsychiatric disorders are similar to those present in PSP. Hallucinations and delusions are rarely reported in these disorders. Neuropsychiatric symptoms in MSA, PSP, and CBD do not appear to be related to the severity of motor dysfunction and are one of the main factors that determine a low quality of life. The results suggest that neuropsychiatric disturbances should always be assessed in patients with atypical parkinsonisms. Keywords: atypical parkinsonisms, multiple system atrophy, progressive supranuclear palsy, corticobasal degeneration, neuropsychiatric disturbances, depression

For the neurological examination, we administered the Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale and the non-motor symptoms scale. The severity of psychiatric symptoms was assessed by means of the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale, the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale, the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale, and the Clinical Global Impressions.Results: Cognitive behavioral group therapy was effective in treating depression and anxiety symptoms as well as reducing the severity of non-motor symptoms in PD patients; whereas, no changes were observed in PD patients treated with the psychoeducational protocol.Conclusion: CBT offered in a group format should be considered in addition to standard drug therapy in PD patients.

Strong evidence shows that symptoms in individuals with Parkinson's Disease (PD) restrict both their independence and social participation, leading to a low Quality of Life (QoL). Conversely, a reduced QoL has a negative impact on symptoms. The aim is to evaluate the correlation between QoL and severity of PD by assessing the presence of an optimal cut-off point on the Parkinson's disease questionnaire (PDQ-39) as related to the HoehnYahr (HY) scale in a cohort of Italian adults with PD.A multicenter, cross-sectional study was performed. This study was conducted on a cohort of consecutive individuals. All participants were evaluated with the PDQ-39, and the severity of PD was recorded according to the HY scale by a neurologist. Receiver op-erating characteristic (ROC) curves and coordinates, visually inspected, were used to find cut-off points with optimal sensitivity and specificity. These were in turn used to determine the optimal PDQ-39 cut-off score for identifying disease severity according to HY stages.513 individuals were included in the study. The ROC curve analysis showed that QoL worsened with an increase in disease severity and age. Moreover, QoL was worse in females.The results of this study allowed for the correlation of QoL and disease severity in a cohort of individuals with PD. With this cut-off point, it is now possible to make a determination of QoL of an individual with PD at a certain stage of the disease, in a specific age range, and of a particular gender.

Objective The objective of this study was to describe the clinical and demographic features of idiopathic non-task-specific upper limb dystonia compared with the task-specific form. Methods In this retrospective study, adult patients with idiopathic upper limb dystonia, either focal or as part of a segmental/multifocal dystonia, from the Italian Dystonia Registry were enrolled. In patients with focal upper limb dystonia, dystonia spread was estimated by survival analysis. Results Of the 1522 patients with idiopathic adult-onset dystonia included in the Italian Dystonia Registry, we identified 182 patients with upper limb dystonia. Non-task-specific dystonia was present in 61.5% of enrolled cases. Women predominated among non-task-specific patients, whereas men predominated in the task-specific group. Peak age of upper limb dystonia onset was in the sixth decade in the non-task-specific group and in the fourth decade in the task-specific group. In both groups, upper limb dystonia started as focal dystonia or as part of a segmental dystonia. Segmental onset was more frequent among non-task-specific patients, whereas focal onset predominated among task-specific patients. Dystonic action tremor was more frequent among non-task-specific patients. No significant differences between groups emerged in terms of sensory trick frequency, rest tremor, or family history of dystonia. In patients with focal upper limb dystonia, dystonia spread was greater in the non-task-specific group. Conclusion Novel information on upper limb dystonia patients suggests that non-task-specific and task-specific upper limb dystonia have different demographic and clinical features. However, it remains to be determined whether these differences also reflect pathophysiological differences. © 2020 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.

BACKGROUND Variants in GBA are the most common genetic risk factor for Parkinson's disease (PD). The impact of different variants on the PD clinical spectrum is still unclear. OBJECTIVES We determined the frequency of GBA-related PD in Italy and correlated GBA variants with motor and nonmotor features and their occurrence over time. METHODS Sanger sequencing of the whole GBA gene was performed. Variants were classified as mild, severe, complex, and risk. β-glucocerebrosidase activity was measured. The Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazard regression models were performed. RESULTS Among 874 patients with PD, 36 variants were detected in 14.3%, including 20.4% early onset. Patients with GBA-PD had earlier and more frequent occurrence of several nonmotor symptoms. Patients with severe and complex GBA-PD had the highest burden of symptoms and a higher risk of hallucinations and cognitive impairment. Complex GBA-PD had the lowest β-glucocerebrosidase activity. CONCLUSIONS GBA-PD is highly prevalent in Italy. Different types of mutations underlie distinct phenotypic profiles. © 2020 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.

Background: Safinamide modulates both dopaminergic and glutamatergic systems with positive effects on motor and non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD). The drug utilization study SYNAPSES was designed to investigate the use of safinamide in routine clinical practice, as recommended by the European Medicines Agency. Objective: To describe the occurrence of adverse events in PD patients treated with safinamide in real-life conditions. Methods: The SYNAPSES trial is an observational, European, multicenter, retrospective-prospective cohort study. Patients were followed up to 12 months with analyses performed in the overall population and in patients aged >75 years, with relevant comorbidities and with psychiatric conditions. Results: Of the 1610 patients included, 82.4% were evaluable after 12 months with 25.1% of patients >75 years, 70.8% with relevant comorbidities and 42.4% with psychiatric conditions. During observation 45.8% patients experienced adverse events, 27.7% patients had adverse drug reactions and 9.2% patients had serious adverse events. The adverse events were those already described in the patients' information leaflet. The majority were mild or moderate and completely resolved and no differences were detected between the subgroup of patients. Clinically significant improvements were seen in the UPDRS motor score and in the UPDRS total score in >= 40% of patients, according to the criteria developed by Shulman et al. Conclusion: The SYNAPSES study confirms the good safety profile of safinamide even in special groups of patients. Motor complications and motor scores improved with clinically significant results in the UPDRS scale maintained in the long-term.

Background Longitudinal cohort studies provide important information about the clinical effectiveness of an intervention in the routine clinical setting, and are an opportunity to understand how a population presents for treatment and is managed. Methods INTEREST IN CD2 (NCT01753349) is a prospective, international, 3-year, longitudinal, observational study following the course of adult idiopathic cervical dystonia (CD) treated with botulinum neurotoxin type A (BoNT-A). The primary objective is to document long-term patient satisfaction with BoNT-A treatment. Here we report baseline data. Results This analysis includes 1036 subjects (67.4% of subjects were female; mean age was 54.7 years old; mean TWSTRS Total score was 31.7). BoNT-A injections were usually given in line with BoNT-A prescribing information. The most commonly injected muscles were splenius capitis (87.3%), sternocleidomastoid (82.6%), trapezius (64.3%), levator scapulae (40.9%) and semispinalis capitis (26.9%); 35.5% of subjects were injected using a guidance technique. Most subjects (87.8%) had been previously treated with BoNT-A (median interval between last pre-study injection and study baseline was 4 months); of these 84.8% reported satisfaction with BoNT-A treatment at peak effect during their previous treatment cycle and 51.5% remained satisfied at the end of the treatment. Analyses by geographical region revealed heterogeneity in the clinical characteristics and BoNT-A injection practice of CD subjects presenting for routine treatment. Conclusions These baseline analyses provide sizeable data regarding the epidemiology and clinical presentation of CD, and demonstrate an international heterogeneity of clinical practice. Future longitudinal analyses of the full 3-year study will explore how these factors impact treatment satisfaction.

- Abstract
Background: Safinamide modulates both dopaminergic and glutamatergic systems with positive effects on motor and non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD). The drug utilization study SYNAPSES was designed to investigate the use of safinamide in routine clinical practice, as recommended by the European Medicines Agency. Objective: To describe the occurrence of adverse events in PD patients treated with safinamide in real-life conditions. Methods: The SYNAPSES trial is an observational, European, multicenter, retrospective-prospective cohort study. Patients were followed up to 12 months with analyses performed in the overall population and in patients aged >75 years, with relevant comorbidities and with psychiatric conditions. Results: Of the 1610 patients included, 82.4% were evaluable after 12 months with 25.1% of patients >75 years, 70.8% with relevant comorbidities and 42.4% with psychiatric conditions. During observation 45.8% patients experienced adverse events, 27.7% patients had adverse drug reactions and 9.2% patients had serious adverse events. The adverse events were those already described in the patients' information leaflet. The majority were mild or moderate and completely resolved and no differences were detected between the subgroup of patients. Clinically significant improvements were seen in the UPDRS motor score and in the UPDRS total score in ≥40% of patients, according to the criteria developed by Shulman et al. Conclusion: The SYNAPSES study confirms the good safety profile of safinamide even in special groups of patients. Motor complications and motor scores improved with clinically significant results in the UPDRS scale maintained in the long-term.

- Abstract
Background: Adult-onset focal dystonia can spread to involve one, or less frequently, two additional body regions. Spread of focal dystonia to a third body site is not fully characterized. Materials and methods: We retrospectively analyzed data from the Italian Dystonia Registry, enrolling patients with segmental/multifocal dystonia involving at least two parts of the body or more. Survival analysis estimated the relationship between dystonia features and spread to a third body part. Results: We identified 340 patients with segmental/multifocal dystonia involving at least two body parts. Spread of dystonia to a third body site occurred in 42/241 patients (17.4%) with focal onset and 10/99 patients (10.1%) with segmental/multifocal dystonia at onset. The former had a greater tendency to spread than patients with segmental/multifocal dystonia at onset. Gender, years of schooling, comorbidity, family history of dystonia/tremor, age at dystonia onset, and disease duration could not predict spread to a third body site. Among patients with focal onset in different body parts (cranial, cervical, and upper limb regions), there was no association between site of focal dystonia onset and risk of spread to a third body site. Discussion and conclusion: Spread to a third body site occurs in a relative low percentage of patients with idiopathic adult-onset dystonia affecting two body parts. Regardless of the site of dystonia onset and of other demographic/clinical variables, focal onset seems to confer a greater risk of spread to a third body site in comparison to patients with segmental/multifocal dystonia at onset.

- Abstract
Background: Acute peripheral trauma is a controversial risk factor for idiopathic dystonia. Materials and methods: We retrospectively analyzed data from the Italian Dystonia Registry regarding the occurrence of acute peripheral trauma severe enough to require medical attention in 1382 patients with adult-onset idiopathic dystonia and 200 patients with acquired adult-onset dystonia. Results: Patients with idiopathic and acquired dystonia showed a similar burden of peripheral trauma in terms of the number of patients who experienced trauma (115/1382 vs. 12/200, p = 0.3) and the overall number of injuries (145 for the 1382 idiopathic patients and 14 for the 200 patients with secondary dystonia, p = 0.2). Most traumas occurred before the onset of idiopathic or secondary dystonia but only a minority of such injuries (14 in the idiopathic group, 2 in the acquired group, p = 0.6) affected the same body part as that affected by dystonia. In the idiopathic group, the elapsed time between trauma and dystonia onset was 8.1 ± 9.2 years; only six of the 145 traumas (4.1%) experienced by 5/1382 idiopathic patients (0.36%) occurred one year or less before dystonia onset; in the acquired dystonia group, the two patients experienced prior trauma to the dystonic body part 5 and 6 years before dystonia development. Discussion and conclusion: Our data suggest that the contribution of peripheral acute trauma to idiopathic dystonia is negligible, if anything, and likely involves only a small subset of patients.

Purpose. Strong evidence shows that symptoms in individuals with Parkinson's Disease (PD) restrict both their independence and social participation, leading to a low Quality of Life (QoL). Conversely, a reduced QoL has a negative impact on symptoms. The aim is to evaluate the correlation between QoL and severity of PD by assessing the presence of an optimal cut-off point on the Parkinson's disease questionnaire (PDQ-39) as related to the Hoehn &Yahr (H&Y) scale in a cohort of Italian adults with PD. Methods. A multicenter, cross-sectional study was performed. This study was conducted on a cohort of consecutive individuals. All participants were evaluated with the PDQ-39, and the severity of PD was recorded according to the H&Y scale by a neurologist. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and coordinates, visually inspected, were used to find cut-off points with optimal sensitivity and specificity. These were in turn used to determine the optimal PDQ-39 cut-off score for identifying disease severity according to H&Y stages. Results. 513 individuals were included in the study. The ROC curve analysis showed that QoL worsened with an increase in disease severity and age. Moreover, QoL was worse in females. Conclusions. The results of this study allowed for the correlation of QoL and disease severity in a cohort of individuals with PD. With this cut-off point, it is now possible to make a determination of QoL of an individual with PD at a certain stage of the disease, in a specific age range, and of a particular gender.
