Abstract
Background: Foslevodopa/foscarbidopa (LDp/CDp) infusion may reduce PD-related pain; however, its effects on different pain manifestations remain unclear.
Objective: The aim was to evaluate longitudinal changes in overall and domain-specific PD-related pain after LDp/CDp infusion.
Methods: Twenty-six patients with advanced PD initiating LDp/CDp infusion underwent evaluation at baseline (T0) and 6 months (T1). Pain was assessed using the King's Parkinson's Disease Pain Scale (KPPS). Secondary outcomes included motor complications, quality of life (QoL), dopaminergic treatment burden, and pain-motor correlations.
Results: At T1, KPPS total score decreased (9.6 ± 6.5 vs. 2.7 ± 4.7, P < 0.001), with improvements in chronic (P = 0.01), fluctuation-related (P < 0.001), and nocturnal (P < 0.001) pain. Motor complications reduced (P < 0.001), and fluctuation-related pain reduction correlated with motor complication changes (ρ = 0.46, P = 0.04). QoL improved (P = 0.006), whereas dopaminergic treatment burden was unchanged.
Conclusions: LDp/CDp infusion improved PD-related pain, particularly chronic, fluctuation-related, and nocturnal pain, with a parallel improvement in QoL, suggesting benefits beyond motor complication management.
背景:Foslevodopa/foscarbidopa (LDp/CDp)输注可减轻pd相关疼痛;然而,它对不同疼痛表现的影响尚不清楚。目的:目的是评估LDp/CDp输注后pd相关疼痛的整体和特定领域的纵向变化。方法:26例晚期PD患者启动LDp/CDp输注,在基线(T0)和6个月(T1)时进行评估。疼痛采用国王帕金森病疼痛量表(KPPS)进行评估。次要结局包括运动并发症、生活质量(QoL)、多巴胺能治疗负担和疼痛-运动相关性。结果:在T1时,KPPS总分下降(9.6±6.5 vs. 2.7±4.7)P结论:LDp/CDp输注改善pd相关疼痛,特别是慢性、波动相关疼痛和夜间疼痛,同时改善生活质量,表明其益处超出了运动并发症的管理。
