Parkinson´s disease is characterized above all by motor symptoms Œ tremor, rigidity, bradykinesis. However, at the onset of the clinical manifestations as well as during the subsequent course of the disease also other non-motor symptoms develop Œ in particular vegetative, psychic, sensitive and sensory symptoms. Sensitive manifestations at the onset of Parkinson´s disease include in particular pain, paraesthesias, dysesthesias, sensations of internal tremor, alternating sensations of cold and heat. The prevalence of sensitive symptoms at the onset of the disease is 0.5-2 %. In developed stages of Parkinson´s disease in addition to the above symptoms also disorders of sensitive perception, impaired tactile discrimination, akathisia, restless legs syndrome develop. The prevalence of sensitive symptoms in developed stages of Parkinson´s disease is 33-50 %. Possible treatment of sensitive symptoms are adjustment of existing dopaminergic therapy, administration of analgesics, antiepileptics, antidepressants, atypical neuroleptics.
