This
30-point questionnaire recognises that non-movement difficulties often occur in
Parkinson’s and that it is important for a doctor to be aware of their extent
and the impact they have on life so that treatment takes these into
account. Areas covered include sleep,
constipation, vision, smell, sexual problems and memory. The inclusion of such topics in the
questionnaire has been found helpful in opening a dialogue on subjects that
might otherwise be ignored or may be considered to be embarrassing.
