Research progress of Parkinson's disease complicated with impulse control disorders / 中国医师杂志

ABSTRACT

Impulsive control disorders (ICD), as a special non-motor symptom of PD, have been widely recognized with the in-depth research on non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD) in recent years. ICD refers to repetitive and excessive activities that are not able to resist impulse, desire drive or temptation in order to obtain pleasure regardless of the adverse consequences. Impulse control disorders are common in people with Parkinson's disease. The pathogenesis of PD combined with ICD is still unclear and may involve the joint action of multiple factors. This paper will review the epidemiology, etiology and risk factors, genetic characteristics, imaging characteristics, diagnosis and treatment of PD patients with ICD, aiming to provide a new direction for clinical early diagnosis and individualized treatment of PD patients with ICD.
