ABSTRACT

@#Objective　To analyze the clinical characteristics of ET-PD and the difference between ET-PD and PD.Methods　Fifteen patients with ET-PD (ET-PD group) and 35 patients with parkinsonism (PD group) were enrolled to analyze the differences between the two groups in motor symptoms,non-motor symptoms.Results　The latency of ET-PD was (9.10±2.81) years.In terms of motor symptoms,axial symptoms ［(4.08±2.36) points vs (3.76±2.72) points］,postural tremor ［(2.69±1.84) points vs (1.59±1.36) points］ and motor tremor ［(2.62±1.90) points vs (1.32±1.50) points］ were more severe.Dizziness ［(0.46±0.65) vs (0.26±0.45)］ was more severe,while constipation ［(0.92±0.74) vs (1.09±1.11)］,dyspepsia ［(0.77±0.71) vs (0.82±0.52)］,and choking symptoms ［(0.15±0.54) vs (0.44±0.61)］ were less severe.Conclusion　Patients with ET-PD had a long latency,with severe symptoms of dizziness,postural tremor,motor tremor and axial symptom,while relatively mild symptoms of constipation,dysphonia and cough.
